Odds and Ends

As I find them, I will be adding to this section on a regular basis

 
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
I also 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. This one has an original 4 screw No 8 contact assembly fitted. These are assembled from genuine original parts. No exchange dial is required. £110
Rare type 24c ATE dial. Black painted brass finger plate. Mint condition. Fits 150, 200 series, 300 series and many others. No exchange dial required £25
As above 24c dial but in used condition No exchange required £15
Unusual and rare ATE dial. Part number L39509. Black plastic finger plate which incorporates the numbers in cupped recesses. Fascinating mechanism with partial sun and planet gearing .
Fits 150, 200 series, 300 series and many others. No exchange required
£30
User instruction booklet in colour for BT answer recording machine type 101A. Dated I would guess in the late 70's.
Poorly stored and dirty. But great if you have a 101A.
£1
Jack Unit 1A. This is a small grey box which contains the elements of a telephone. It does not include a bell, dial, or hand set. The circuit diagram is similar to a 706. Circuit diagram included. Circa 1970's £8
Incredible find. Mint Unused!!!
 Line cord suitable for early magneto telephones such as the Ericsson skeleton.
This is an original cord from the early 1900's. It was probably made by Ericsson or their supplier.
It is about 3 metres or 10 feet long, braided with green cloth with red cotton binding at each end. There are seven colour coded cores, all correctly whipped with copper wire.
Make no mistake, this is original and mint. Museum quality.
£70
Another Incredible find.
 Mint Unused!!!
 Handset cord suitable for early magneto telephones such as the Ericsson skeleton, wooden wall and corporation types.
This is an original cord from the early 1900's. It was probably made by Ericsson or their supplier.
It is about 1.5 metres or 5 feet long, braided with green cloth with green cotton binding at each end. There are four cores, all correctly whipped with copper wire. The four colour coded cores are the correct length and have the correct extensions for most early Ericsson type handsets with a press to talk switch. Note it has 4 cores, not 5 cores
Make no mistake, this is original and mint. Museum quality.
£110
Mouthpiece Black bakelite No 18. Rare  ORIGINAL BRAND NEW OLD STOCK, Not reproduction. Used on some Siemens wall phones, and certain test telephones. Fits the 164 type handset shell. £20.00

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.
