Anybody still horse trade? got a few phones I don't need, and lookin for one 1

[RB]

I am lookin for a small Local Batt phone I can add  to my Pony board.
I have a few regular Common Batt desk tone phones, and a couple rotary phones I don't need. They all work, just extra.
I would like to trade for something I can put in front of my board.
What I am lookin for, is something like the desktop monophone, or one of those black German? "letters only" phones?
Or, maybe one of those, what are they? Norwegian? dysk type square box with gold trim things???
Anyway, it needs to be small, as space is limited.
The phone I use, does not need to be fancy, and cannot be expensive.
I don't care if the dates match, or if the handset is original...it just needs to work.
If anybody has something along those lines, I would like to discuss a possible exchange.
Thank you, and drink Beer!

Are you looking for a desk set smaller than the one in your picture? What kind of phones ya got?

[RB]

Hi Howard
I have a few common phones I was given/bought ,  they work, and they are players, not diamonds.
I have a small collection, and these are just not what I want in the lineup.
At least, not so many. I am a 1 of each kind of collector, no space for lots.
Most of my collection consists of older phones.
I have a 5 ext. Pony Board, and need a Local Batt phone for the Operator.
I need the smallest footprint I can find. And it can be a frankin phone.
In fact, I prefer it! It fits with the rest of my collection.
The Big one is a beaut. just too big for me to display properly. and it is LB.

Are you looking for a LB phone with a built in magneto? Did you see Doug Rose's Leich magneto phone?

[RB]

Yes, I have a few Liechs, too large for what I want.
it does need a magneto inside.
