Know before you buy
Yes, this is a fully functional corded telephone. It connects via a standard RJ11 phone jack and is compatible with most traditional landline services.
Each unit is meticulously refurbished by technicians to ensure it functions properly. Because these are authentic vintage pieces, you should expect minor cosmetic wear, which adds to the phone's unique character and history.
No, the phone is line-powered. It draws all the necessary power directly from your telephone wall jack, so you do not need to worry about batteries or power adapters.
While it is fully functional and capable of making and receiving calls, it is primarily intended as a novelty and entertainment piece. It is perfect for adding a playful touch to your desk, but may lack the advanced features found on modern digital handsets.
Every Retrospekt refurbished telephone comes with a limited 90-day warranty. If you experience technical issues within that timeframe, you are covered under their support policy.
