Having Your Rotary Dial Phone Restored
November 24th, 2010
Many of you own rotary dial telephones or intend to purchase a classic old phone from eBay, Cragislist or from an area garage sale or flea market. These are all great sources for finding vintage rotary phones. If you are careful, do a bit of homework, and deal with only reputable sellers with high buyer satisfaction rates you are likely to find an old phone in pretty good shape.
Unfortunately, many of the classic rotary phones are not properly wired to work with today’s phone systems. Internal wiring needs to be modified to function properly with modern phone systems. In many cases the bold old phone works fine, but the ringer does not ring. Seriously? Who wants an old rotary phone that doesn’t ring?
In addition to getting you new old phone into proper working order, many people like to have their rotary dial phone restored to near factory condition. With care, you can shine and polish your collectible rotary phone yourself, but there are pitfalls and mistakes you can make along the way that might actually damage the exterior of the phone.
