Relive the Retro Charm with the Code-A-Phone 1620 Answering Machine – A Vintage Telecommunications Treasure!
Step back into the golden age of communication with the Code-A-Phone 1620 Answering Machine, a timeless classic from the late 1980s to early 1990s that brings vintage functionality and nostalgic appeal to your collection! Crafted by James Hardie Communications under the legendary Code-A-Phone brand—pioneers in telecommunications since 1966—this microcassette-based unit revolutionized home call management. Measuring approximately 13cm (5.1 inches) wide, 18cm (7.1 inches) deep, and 4.5cm (1.8 inches) high, its sleek beige casing is compact enough to fit perfectly on any desk or shelf, delivering a stylish touch of retro tech to your space.
Packed with advanced features for its era, the 1620 offers one-touch message playback, call screening, voice message recording, personal memo capability, and remote command access—everything you need to stay in control of your calls with ease. Simply connect it with the included phone cord and 9V power adapter, insert a microcassette (not included), and let it capture your messages seamlessly. Weighing around 0.9kg (2 lbs), this sturdy unit is built to last, reflecting Code-A-Phone’s commitment to quality and innovation. Whether you’re a collector, a nostalgia enthusiast, or simply love vintage gadgets, this answering machine is a must-have piece of telecom history.
I’ve tested this unit myself—it powers up and appears to operate correctly, though without a microcassette, full functionality hasn’t been verified. It’s being sold as partly tested and AS IS, offering you a fantastic opportunity to own and potentially restore a working relic of the past.
