Having problems with your eBay telephone?
Contact me, I may be able to help you.

Come and see the largest permanent display of Bakelite telephones, working ORIGINAL and antique telephones for sale in eastern England. The British 1920's and earlier Candlestick, Bakelite 200 and Bakelite 300 series. The American 500. The ornate Belgian desk and wall phones. The classic Danish range from turn of the century magneto to 60's Bakelite telephones and the famous Queens' Silver Jubilee Telephone of 1977. I specialise in genuine Bakelite telephones. The 300 series is the type of Bakelite telephone used on the Noel Edmunds "Deal or No Deal" TV Show.
I can convert and repair these, and many more.

Why take a chance on eBay, when you can buy from my shop, or by mail order a fully guaranteed quality telephone,  from a long established business, for a competitive price?
I have personally restored and sold in excess of 3000 telephones since I started trading!

I usually only sell restored telephones. But I do also have large stocks of telephones for sale that can be restored to order. I should emphasise that all the telephones featured in this web site are actually in stock, but may be waiting restoration. It is always worth enquiring, if the telephone you are seeking cannot be seen on my pages.

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.
