Title: 3 telephones from the neighborhood
Post by: dsk on December 11, 2017, 04:30:32 PM
today I got 3 telephones from the neighborhood

2 Ericsson intercoms, and a greenish Cobra. Not sure about the name on the color. A total of $48, not bad.

I have been waiting for that intercom tabletop, I want to put a dial (+++) on it, and use it, It is so much smaller than the regular ones.

Some more Cobra pictures, cleaned snd adjusted to 10.5 pps.
Loud and clear sound, buzzes on incoming calls, dial nicely.

Now, I have modified the intercom to something close to the DBK1001T, and got the rotary I have been looking for, and never found. Only single gong ringer, but working.

To compare,  a 312 and a regular DBH1001 on each side.
