DIALS AND LABELS

 Prices quoted for dials are on the basis of a serviceable exchange unit being offered. A £20 surcharge is payable in addition for outright purchase. Those offered are reconditioned to the same standards applied to my own telephones.
The dial is almost completely stripped down. It is degreased and cleaned. The gears are inspected and cleaned. The main shaft is sparingly lubricated
as is the spring and slipping clutch. The governor is cleaned and polished as necessary. The dial is then re-assembled and set up for correct speed and percentage break, (Mark-space ratio) using purpose made test equipment. The dial switches are set up and cleaned using a diamond spatula.
I can often recondition your own dial; the same charges apply.

I have workshop facilities at Battlesbridge and stock some spares in the shop.

Spares are available by mail order, but are subject to a £15 minimum order charge.

Unless stated otherwise, most spares are used and vary in quality from "as seen" to "reconditioned".

"Reconditioned" means a part which has been overhauled to working condition. It does not necessarily mean overhauled to new condition.

All spares are subject to availability. Please enquire about any parts not listed, I may have them anyway.

I endeavour to keep to the above prices, but they are liable to change without notice

If you have a telephone in your possession that you want to know more about, or have repaired or converted, please have it right next to you when you call. It is not sufficient just to have a note of any markings or to rely on memory. It may be useful to have a selection of small flat bladed screwdrivers to hand.
