Northern Electric No. 2 Uniphone - White with Chrome Trim

Restored Northern Electric No. 2 Wall Phone - Working Condition!

Exclusive Custom Gloss White

Through the years Northern Electric made many different phones, but perhaps none is a distinctive as the Uniphone series that was manufactured in the 1940s and 50s. The classic pyramidal lines of this unique telephone make instantly identifiable, and allow it to fit easily into your period decorating scheme.

Dial – The dial has been fully disassembled, cleaned, lubed and timed to ensure years of trouble free service. The outer edge of the dial has been stripped and repainted with a gloss white enamel. Unless the dial is removed, this is something you will rarely ever even see, but this is how it would have come from the factory. The number plate has been cleaned and a perfectly matching overlay has been applied. We have added a freshly chrome plated finger wheel and dial card ring, as well as die cut dial card and acetate cover.

Cords – The phone has been outfitted with brand new vinyl cords. You also have the option for brand new cloth cords that are made in house on the same type of equipment originally used by the phone companies. Just let us know in the comments section. whether you choose vinyl or cloth cords the line cord will have a modular connection to facilitate a modern connection to your wall jack.

Shell & Handset – The shell has been painstakingly put through a multi-step restoration process which includes sanding with 400, 800, 1000, 2000 grit. This ensures that there are no scratches, dents or dings. The shell is then professionally painted in a high gloss white enamel. This is a very durable and scratch resistant paint that will hold up for years. 

Base – The base is completely stripped of all its components and painted with a high gloss black. The components are then cleaned, tested and reinstalled.

We are now also offering the option to have your telephone number printed on the dial card in the center of your fingerwheel. Select this option with the drop down menu.

Do you currently have any rotary phones? If the answer is no, it is always a good idea to call your local phone company and check if they still support “pulse” dialing. If they do, you are all set to go. If they do not, your phone will not be able to place calls without a converter. We have internal converters that we install during assembly available for $79.95.

As an alternative, we provide an option to use this phone as an extension of your cell phone. The XLink Bluetooth gateway is an device external to the phone that gets it’s power from a standard AC outlet. The cord from the phone will then connect to a phone jack on the gateway. When you pair the gateway to an active Bluetooth enabled cell phone, you will be able to use the vintage phone just like it was connected to a traditional landline. When someone calls your cell phone, the vintage phone will ring, and you will be able to dial out using the dial on the vintage phone. If you want to be able to call # and * using your rotary dial, you will also need to add the pulse to tone converter option.
