This item needs a landline to work. Plugs into wall.

Sound does not work. We didn’t use it for several years and it no longer plays sound. We took off the bottom and it worked intermittently. Dont know enough about fixing electronics so just left alone. If you are good at this type of thing you might be able to get it to work. It does however get a dial tone if plugged in. Not original owners and it looks like they maybe got spray paint down the back. Not really noticeable if its back is to a wall. Please see all pictures. Great conversation piece.
