Fantastic Automatic Electric Type 183 Spacemaker - Classic 1960's Design!

Wall phones were once a staple product for telephone companies. I'm sure many of us can still remember those long phone calls on the old rotary dial telephone hanging on the kitchen wall. Although not as popular now, wall telephones can still serve both a decorative, and functional purpose in many household.

Through the years Automatic Electric made many different types of wall phones. The Model 183 was first introduced in 1958 to replace the aging Model 43 design that had been in production since 1938. Spacemaker phones were designed specifically for cramped environments like small apartments.

The Model 183 has an internal network so it does not require a separate subset in order to connect to the line. Due to the obvious size limitations of the housing, however, a ringer was not included internally, but could be added externally if desired. These phones were available in a variety of colours.

This Model 183 has been repainted using the same process used by the original manufacturer. The handset has also been expertly repainted so that the entire phone has a "like new" look and feel. The result is nothing less than spectacular! If needed, an optional ringer can be purchased separately to notify of you incoming calls.

The dial has an excellent numeric porcelain dial plate that shows virtually no wear and a custom matching Automatic Electric dial centre. It has been overhauled, timed and lubricated to ensure years of trouble free service.

As a finishing touch, a new pink curly handset cord, and a pink modern modular line cord have been added to this classic. All components have been fully overhauled and tested to ensure that they will function properly both now, and in the years to come.

This wonderful piece of history carries a one year parts and labour warranty subject to our standard terms and conditions.

This is a great opportunity to own a fantastic piece of fully functional classic technology.
