Aqua Blue Ericofon Telephone - Full Restoration

Description: The Ericofon is one of the worlds best selling telephones having a total production in the millions. It's a 1960's symbol of modernism in just about any country in the world. The MOMA in New York lists it as one of the top engineering designs of the 20th century. This phone is also my specialty, I've been working with this phone for 20+ years, have refurbished over 3000, and have a website dedicated to them. The cords and base gaskets I use for these are custom made for me to be high quality replicas of the originals. Everything else in the phone is 100% factory correct. Owning one of these phones is owning a piece of industrial design history, not to mention a heck of a conversation piece (pardon the pun). The Ericofons I'm selling here are the ones built by North Electric (An LM Ericsson subsidiary) in Galion, OH. If you prefer a European or Canadian version made by LME with the buzzer, send me a message, it's likely I can do that for you instead of the American version with the Ericotone (tweeter) ringer. I can also likely match the dial face for your country. The color this phone has been professionally painted is the same as the blue Western Electric 302 aqua blue. Condition: All of the phones I sell are refurbished to look and work like new. This includes cleaning and lubricating dials, cleaning contacts on TouchTone keypads, updating wiring. All phones are adapted for modular use, so all you have to do is plug the phone in and use it. The exterior of plastic and Bakelite phones are polished to a high polish using commercial buffing equipment. In the case of age discolored plastic phones, I have them repainted at a professional paint shop using the same materials and methods used by the phone company for a very durable, high shine. About Digital Dialing: If you have digital phone service, you will probably be unable to dial out with this phone. This is correctable by adding a digital converter to the phone. With this device installed you will be able to use this phone on any digital system. Including a converter is an additional $65. If you want this option, message me for purchase instructions. Shipping: I ship within 48 hours of payment. I combine phones to save on shipping. If you buy them separately, I'll refund back the difference. The phones are well packed to protect them during shipping. Warranty & Returns: I will fix your phone free of charge if you send it to me for as long as you own your phone. I will pay return shipping after repairs are made (USA only). This warranty does not cover damage from drops, floods, lightning strike, misuse, or any other cause for failure outside of normal usage. If you do not like your phone for any reason, you are welcome to return it for a full refund within 30 days of the sale date. Shipping charges are not refundable. I must receive the phone back in the same condition it was sent out. So please pack carefully. I will not refund if it is damaged in shipping. You'll have to file a claim with the post office.
