Red Phones

Is this AE buttset red enough to qualify for the Red Phones thread?

Yeah, I would say so!  That is a very cool phone, Howard.  I see AE linemans' sets pop up occasionally on eBay, but I've never bit.  Being an AE enthusiast, I just might have to break down and get one sometime.  Do they still work (dial out & receive calls) if hooked up to a POTS line?

I have a red phone. This thread has some real beauties in it. So, I figured this one belonged here.

Thanks for sharing that, Doug!  That is a VERY cool payphone.  I'd forgotten that there were compact payphones like that around.  I'd seen some in my youth, but I'd forgotten about them until you posted that.  Thanks!

BT Trimphone 8766, 1982.

(Schhh, don't tell the Monochrome Phones with Sepia Tones....)

Still rings today!  Made by the "The Steel Stamping Co. Lorrain Ohio"  Its a toy about 3/4 the size of a 500 set.

Russ, if you examine the design of the toy closely, especially the front of the handset carriage, it looks like they took the contour straight from the AE 80!

I do see the resemblance to the AE 80.

I would like to add my red Contempra to the red phone thread. This one is 50 years old.
