The Princess phone is probably one of the most iconic phones of the 1960's
and into the 1970's. Originally marketed as a bedside phone, its compact design
meant it did not take up a lot of room on the table. As an added feature they
installed an incandescent light bulb so that you could pick up the phone and
make a call in the dark without having to turn a light on. Bear in mind, this
light is very dim and can't be seen when the lights are on in the room, it was
only bright enough to make the dial glow in the dark for dialing. Most people
don't care about this option, so this is why I don't include the necessary
transformer kit with the phone, I sell it separately so you don't have to pay
for something you don't want. If you purchase the kit in a separate listing, I
will refund back the shipping charged and send it along with your phone.
Ringer: Some Princess ringers have the ability to be turned all the way off. There are a lot of Western Electric ringers that only have a low volume, some Princess ringers, thankfully, allow you to turn them all the way off. If you want this feature, please be sure to send me a separate note asking to be sure to send a phone that can have the ringer turned all the way off.
Hard of Hearing: I
do have special handsets available for the hard of hearing. These are original
Western Electric G6 handsets that were designed specifically to go with Western
Electric telephones. The quality and clarity of these handsets can't be beat.
Send me a message after you purchase the phone and I will set up a special
listing to purchase the upgrade.
No Landline? No problem. You
can pair this up with your cell phone using the Cell2Jack and still have full
function of this phone through your cell phone. Just add this listing to your
purchase: https://www.ebay.com/itm/277267227912 |

Condition:
-
All of the phones I sell are refurbished to look and work like new. This
includes cleaning and lubricating dials, cleaning contacts on TouchTone keypads,
updating wiring.
-
All phones are adapted for modular use, so all you have to do is plug the phone
in and use it.
-
The exterior of plastic and Bakelite phones are polished to a high polish using
commercial buffing equipment.
-
In the case of age discolored plastic phones, I have them repainted at a
professional paint shop using the same materials and methods used by the phone company for a very durable, high shine.

About Digital Dialing:
- If you have digital phone service, you will
probably be unable to dial out with this phone. This is correctable by
adding a digital converter to the phone. With this device installed you will
be able to use this phone on any digital system.
- If you are using a Bluetooth connection, you will be able to dial
out without needing a converter. Your phone will also ring just fine. I do
have easy to use Bluetooth modu les available, you will find a link to it in
the description above.
- Including a converter is an additional $70. If you want this option,
message me for purchase instructions.
