BT (GPO) Planphone A

[tubaman]

This arrived yesterday - £0.99 + £5.99 P&P.
I didn't have a Planphone in my collection, so at this price I took the plunge.
Spent a little time last night giving it a light clean and fitting a dial, feet, and handset inserts. Its come up pretty good I think.
It's a very late one, with 1983 stickers on the base, even though the phone part is a 706 that would have originally been made a long time before that.

Wow. You've done well; a good restoration, nice dial, colour matching parts, great condition find, and only 99 pence!

Looks perfect.

I'm entering this for you as a FOTM.

Thanks - I'm very happy with it.
It's not quite perfect as the base is losing some paint where it has been a bit damp at some point, but the insides are fine.
The parts match very well. There's a tiny bit of yellowing but it's really even so still looks good.
Can't complain for 99p!

Thanks for the FOTM nomination - I don't think it'll endanger your lovely Kellogg candlestick much though.
