Ericofon Model 700

[FABphones]

  I have at last been able to add an Ericofon Model 700 to the collection. Introduced in 1976 to mark the 100th Anniversary of the LM Ericsson Company, the 700 had a touch button pad but were not touchtone. Apparently this was not a popular model, and listening to the (incoming call) buzzer I can understand why this might be.

The brown colourway seems to come up for sale the most in my location, but they don't quite fit in with the colour scheme I collect. To the eye this Ericofon is very much Ivory in colour, but according to the Ericofon available colours of the day they never made Ivory, meaning this phone was originally white. The colour over the years has changed evenly; no dark patches or other variations. Exactly the same even shade of Ivory all over. Hard to believe this might have been anything else. So as Ivory fits into my collection beautifully and having aged gracefully, this phone will remain exactly as is. It received just the usual Anti-bac clean, and looks good. No damage.

It will sit nicely alongside it's two older cousins.

Congratulations on finding a most interesting and scarce phone.

It's a good candidate for Find of the Month.

Cool CJ. I have 2 Ericofons, the old dial ones.

Very nice!
I have a 'white' dial version that has also faded to cream in a surprisingly even fashion.
