Telephone Dials for British Telephones

If you are not sure which dial to use, Click Here

The dials offered here are reconditioned to the same standards applied to those used with 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 electronic 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.

BRITISH DIALS

I have a very few type 10 dials fitted with a black oxidised finger plate, body, and type 8 (small) label holder. A genuine type 8 is extremely rare, so this might be the next best thing. It looks like the type 8 dials as fitted to candlestick telephones in the early 1920's. These are assembled from genuine original parts. No exchange dial is required.

 £85 each

I am in the shop most Saturday and Sunday mornings between 10.00 and 12.00. Conversions and repairs are often carried out while you wait.

If you have a telephone that you want to know more about, or have it repaired or converted, please have it right next to you when you call. Please also have a selection of small flat bladed screwdrivers to hand.
