WESTERN ELECTRIC TELEPHONE
151AL "Candlestick" Wired to Work
Up for auction this beautifully restored original early Western Electric "Candlestick" Telephone model 151AL from the 1930s and 40's. This has been totally refurbished and rewired to work right out of the box with a 634 Anti-Sidetone Metal Ringer Box. It has been professionally powdercoated a gleaming black, as has the telephone, fingerwheel and number card. There is a new 6 foot black modular cord from the ringer box to plug into the wall. We've replaced the receiver cord and the 6ft umbilical cord with era correct brown cloth cordage to the ringerbox/subset. It has the original 323 transmitter with the tinny old timey sound. The faceplate has been repainted. Also it has the original magnet/diaphragm receiver, buffed and polished to a sheen. Original 2 gong ringer signals incoming calls. It has a very nice Number #2AB dial, dated 1930 and has that great clickity clack of dials of that era. One of the letters on the fingerstop had been XXd out by the phone company once upon a time. It has been cleaned and adjusted to Western Specs. The number plate a later notched and is in superior condition, all letters and numbers are crisp and clear. The original paint on the edge is very good. We've applied new felt to the bottom. This phone will work on any STANDARD landline. Certain newer modems or other VOIP phones systems will require a "Pulse to Tone converter" to dial out. These are readily available online, otherwise, it's an answer only telephone.
