CORONA BEER HOTLINE TV COMMERCIAL PROP CORTELCO DESK PHONE PARTS TONY ROMO AS IS
Up for your consideration is Corona Beer Hotline Prop Phone from the TV Commercials featuring Tony Romo. We DO have one of the completed phones that was actually used in the commercials available in another listing however this phone was one of the many extra prop phones ordered by the Art dept. as back up props in anticipation for many more Corona Hotline commercials. This information was provided to us by Jim B. the Associate Creative Writer / Director and Eric B. the Creative Director and Designer. We were told that the Art. Dept. always over prepares...and due to the success of the Corona Hotline commercials prior to 2020 they were confident that these phones would be needed for future production. They were in the process of gutting and customizing them for use in the commercials, then came the pandemic in 2020 and the rest is history. These extra phones were never completed and sat in warehouse until we got our hands on them. These are NOT in working condition and do NOT come with a cord. They do come in the box from the maker Cortelco and the box is dated 05/17. It would appear that the phone was altered in many ways, #1 (it has been painted nicely in a dark blue color, originally light tan color), #2 (some of the internal components may have been removed), #3 (some new components may have been added). There is a modular jack on the side of the phone is for the handset only. There are 2 modular jacks on the back of the phone, one for line and one for data. This phone came pre-drilled to accept a flashing light (the other phones were set up to flash and ring for Tony Romo) however there is no light dome included or wiring to initiate a flash. The hook switch buttons are missing from the cradle as well and the ringer volume control on the bottom has been changed from a rotary dial to a switch. This will come AS IS and would still make an AWESOME TV prop to have and would be a great item to display at your bar or in your mancave......and if you are knowledgeable about phones it is possible to set it up to ring and light up just like in the commercials if you have the right parts. Definitely a unique advertising item for your collection. Please be sure to see all the other items we have listed.
