Western Electric 701 Rotary Princess Phone ***New added bonus. All 701 princess phones now come with a free external mechanical ringer*** The 1960s come alive again with this pristine white Western Electric 701 Rotary Princess Phone. This classic is in great condition with no cracks or scratches of any kind. We have meticulously restored this phone in every way. We have added a fresh coat of Polane to this classic, overall the phone looks GREAT! What I like most about the Princess Phone is the light that illuminates the dial and one of the plungers when you pick up the handset. This feature was promoted extensively by Western Electric in their "It's little, It's Lovely, It Lights" marketing campaign. This phone is a early model 701 and it has been mechanically and electrically checked to ensure that it works like new. This model does NOT have an internal ringer although several external ringing options are avialable. As a finishing touch we have added a new white curly handset cord as well as added a modular adapter for easy installation in your existing phone setup. In order to complete the Princess Phone experience a modular princess transformer is required in order for the light feature to work. The light transformer is an available option when you place your order. Do you currently have any rotary phones? If the answer is no, it is always a good idea to call your local phone company and check if they still support “pulse” dialing. If they do, you are all set to go. If they do not, your phone will not be able to place calls without a converter. We have internal converters for this type of setup available for $79.95 (installed during assembly) - Dials * and # from your rotary phone to access computerized services. - Use legacy equipment on tone-only lines.- Compatible with VOIP services. - Provides last number redial functionality. - Adds 7 programmable speed dial locations As an alternative, we provide an option to use this phone as an extension of your cell phone. The XLink Bluetooth gateway will allow you to make and receive calls using a vintage rotary dial through a Bluetooth connection to your cell phone.The phone goes through extensive testing before to ensure it is in perfect working condition prior to shipping.
