Title: Old Siemens
Post by: Keith.p on March 16, 2013, 04:58:42 PM
I came across this phone some weeks ago, I liked the look of it and it was just a cheap old phone, as it looked a little unusual I bought it.
I think the phone is a W28, but is it?
It has vents in the side, steel body, so could it be a W26.
I haven't tried to see if it works or not, but I would like to try it out and see.

Hi, it's a S&H W28 wall phone. Compare with the picture I posted some time ago here : http://tinyurl.com/capjvw6
You have to scroll down a bit but sure will recognize the right one there ;)
If it wasn't repainted or polished too much in the past you should even be able to read the Siemens & Halske logo on the left wall, but mostly gone over the years. If you like I can take a picture from inside for you to compare.

Thanks, an inside picture would be helpful, It looks much the same, has it got the vents around the bottom?
Thanks.
