I just won a S-C 1211 and received it yesterday. I always liked the looks of these phones,even if they were never used in my area.

do any members here have one?

One of my favorite looking wall phones of all time but I don't have one. I also like the AE 50, but don't have one of those either. Sigh. Congrats, Steve. What did you pay for it? And does it have a dial or not? Would love to see pictures, exterior and interior. -Matt

I won it for $30.00 . it's the dial-less version, but from what I understand, the dial can be added. I was bidding on a dial version a few weeks ago, but it went for almost $200.00. The phone seems pretty clean after looking it over a bit, just a small tight crack at the top of the receiver. I'll have to wait a day or two before I can open it up.

Nice phone. Looks like batman could use it.

that's a really nice phone that you got steve and fairly at a good price

Steve · January 12, 2009, 12:34:15 PM

Okay, I still haven't opened it up yet, but I gave it a quick wipe down and took some pics.

any advice on these from those who have one?

mienaichizu · January 12, 2009, 07:47:15 PM

that's really nice, is it Bakelite or plastic?

Steve · January 12, 2009, 08:31:31 PM

Bakelite

Holy Hotline Batman, what a great phone! Totally worth the 30 clams, if I had one it'd get pride of place.

Resurrecting an old thread because it came up in my google search for one of these phones. Did you ever find a dial for it?

HobieSport · December 25, 2009, 07:45:13 AM

Probably the coolest telephone design ever.

If I ever see one

The expression in your avatar fits your post, hehe! I can almost hear ol' CG.

The OP, Steve, was on as recently as November, that's why I felt it worth the while to resurrect the thread. Steve, you out there? We want an update on your 1211 phone.

AET · December 25, 2009, 02:53:17 PM

Yes, I also miss Steve. Good guy, from up around here.

HobieSport · December 25, 2009, 04:23:19 PM

Do you mean Steve who had a six shooter in his avatar?

I'm not for or against guns or rifles but I'll send him an Xmas email about telephones.

As long as everyone remembers that this thread is about trying to find an affordable SC 1211 for Brinybay/Greg then count me in.
