BEAUTIFUL C1948 STROMBERG CARLSON CUSTOM RED PHONE SC 1243 - MOD JACK WORKS (w/POTS)
More Photos to Come Shortly
This gorgeous Stromberg Carlson is a restoration from my personal collection - and it is time to pass it on. It has a new high-gloss automotive red with black accents paint scheme over the thermo-plastic case from the same paint professional who does my radios. With the handsome chrome finger wheel on the dial, no cracks or chips and fantastic machine age lines, it l
ooks terrific from every angle and when displayed on my shelf! Also perfect for period movie or TV production sets.
It was working a few years ago on a twisted pair analog line. Has only been tested recently for dial tone and call answer on a friend's FIOS service line. (Be aware, if you intend to use this phone on any kind of digital services landline you may need to buy additional accessories or have dial calibration or other adjustments done in order for it to work or ring on those lines!)
