Repairs

REPAIRS ARE CARRIED OUT FOR PERSONAL CALLERS ONLY.
There are no exceptions to this. I do not accept telephone repairs by post.

I have workshop facilities at Battlesbridge, and may be able to convert or repair your telephone while you wait. But please call me on 01245 400601 first.

I can repair most types of old telephones (subject to inspection). I do not restore or repair reproduction telephones.

INDIAN TELEPHONES and REPRODUCTION TELEPHONES
I do not convert or repair reproduction telephones or any telephone originating from India.
Indian bakelite 300 series can often be identified by checking the underside of the handset grip. It may have a heart shaped emblem enclosing the letters ITI. ITI stands for Indian Telephone Industries of Bangalore. There are other ways of identifying an Indian Telephone, but the easiest course is to call me on 01245 400601 during normal office hours. Please have the telephone with you.
Onyx telephones are reproductions. Despite appearances, they are not very old.

The minimum repair charge is £15

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.

The Old Telephone Company respects your privacy, and will not divulge any information about you to a third party.
