The Battlesbridge Shop

The advantages of going to the shop include

	To be able to see and handle the telephones and ask questions about them.
	To hear a recorded message about the telephones on each telephone on display. This enables you to make an assessment of the speech quality of each telephone.
	You may use the telephones like an intercom and speak to each other.
	You can operate the bells on each telephone to hear what they sound like.
	All the above facilities are easy to use and require little or no assistance from the staff. Have fun!
	A selection of spares is available for sale over the counter, but only when I am in attendance.
	Workshop facilities are available at Battlesbridge. I may be able to convert or repair your telephone while you wait.

You may discuss your individual requirements with either myself (Gavin Payne) or my representative in the shop.

I will attempt to show here the restored stock for sale at Battlesbridge. For obvious reasons, it will almost always be out of date, but I will try to keep it as accurate as possible.

I expect all these telephones will be on display this Saturday morning.
These are all available to mail order customers.

A tip for personal callers to the shop.
The best selection of telephones for sale can be seen after re-stocking on a Saturday morning.
Weekend opening times are 10.00 to 12.00 on Saturday and Sunday. Opening times may be extended subject to demand.
The shop is open 10.00am to 5.30pm 7 days a week with sales and assistance from Leslie next door, and the antiques centre staff. But I am there only at the weekends.

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.
