The handset cord is generally in good condition with just a few small areas of wear on it.   The base plate rubber is in good condition but there is a little corrosion on the base plate itself. The wiring diagram is intact but just a little faded.   An input lead has been fitted at some time and the unit works well in dialing out and receiving calls. There are no bells or ringing coils in the telephone.   The phone has never been modified or altered since it has been in my collection.       Place a Bid!
