Antique Telephone Model 554 - Moss Green - Fully Refurbished

Description: Antique Telephone Model 554 - Moss Green - Fully Refurbished Western Electric 554 – Original Moss Green Plastic History The classic 554. The Model 554 came about as a replacement for the model 354 and quickly became the new workhorse of Northern and Western Electric line of telephones. The 554 was manufactured in many colours over the years but originally in black, brown, white, beige, blue, green, pink, and yellow. The Restoration Process Dial – The dial has been fully disassembled, cleaned, lubed and timed to ensure years of trouble free service. We have also added a brand-new plastic fingerwheel, die cut dial card and acetate. Cradle – We have professionally chrome plated the cradle for a brand-new look. Cords – The phone has been outfitted with brand new vinyl cords and the line cord has a modular connection to facilitate a connection to your wall jack. We do have available modular back plates, message us for details. Shell – The shell has been painstakingly put through a multi-step restoration process which includes sanding with 400, 800, 1000, 2000 grit. This ensures that there are no scratches, dents or dings. The shell is them carefully buffed on our two step buffing wheels. This takes out the fine abrasions left by sanding and leaves the plastic with a smooth factory fresh finish. Finally, we hand apply a three-step plastic restoration compound. This leaves the plastic with a beautiful high gloss finish. Don’t be fooled by other plastic 554’s where they are simply painted, we have the real deal. Base – The base is completely stripped of all its components and sandblasted clean. It is then sealed with a clear coat to resist rust. The components are then cleaned, tested and reinstalled. The phone goes through extensive testing before to ensure it is in perfect working condition prior to shipping. Do you currently have any rotary phones? If the answer is no, it is always a good idea to call your local phone company and check if they still support “pulse” dialing. If they do, you are all set to go. If they do not, your phone will not be able to place calls without a converter. We have internal converters for this type of setup available for $79.95 (installed during assembly) or an external solution for 44.95.
