The advantages of going to the shop include

- Hear a recorded message about the telephones on each telephone on
display. You can hear what it is like.
- You may use the telephones like an intercom and speak to each other.
- You can ring the bells.
- It is all easy to use and require little or no help from the staff. Have fun!
- A selection of spares is available for sale over the counter,
but only
when I am in attendance.

or repair your telephone while you wait.
Talk it over with either myself (Gavin Payne) or my
representative in the shop.

(subject to being unsold) and if ordered by 11.00 am could be with you the next
day. E&OE.

particular telephone, please call me first on the number below to check

Any telephone can be reserved for a short period, with no obligation to
buy.
All are converted to work on a BT line unless otherwise stated. If you

Telephone extension bell 64d. Original vintage. Not
reproduction.
Black with plain black bells. £25
Black, Cream, Maroon, Blue or Green with
polished brass bells. £40
Royal Mail First Class Post and Packing £3.50 extra
A
good selection is on show of the ever popular original vintage 64d
telephone extension bells. All are in mint condition, all are with a black 3
metre cord ready to plug in to a BT or Cable TV telephone socket, and
are complete with a 2 way telephone adaptor. These can be plugged into
any convenient telephone socket in your house, regardless of whether
there is a telephone plugged in or not. They are powered by the
telephone line, and do not need a mains connection. They are semi-weatherproof and
could be installed in a suitable position outside.
I sell these with various bell gong tone
combinations. Come to the shop and you can ring them all, and choose the one which suits you
best. Ideal if you need a bell for your 200 series telephone.
Also worth trying if you have difficulty hearing a modern telephone
ring, or are just nostalgic for the old fashioned ring. These popular bell sets are regularly replaced
as required from my extensive stock |
I will endeavour to replace telephones marked "sold"
for the next weekend.
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.
The shop is also 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.
