Sangyn Retro Rotary Landline Phone 1960s Vintage Telephone Old Fashioned Corded Phones with Mechanical Ringer for Home Office Desk, Black

I love it! It look like the real deal if you do not pick it up .. if not you can tell it does not weigh like the vintage ones .. the dial works .. the ring tone is like back in the old days

Love this red retro rotary landline desk telephone from Sangyn. Looks identical to the old Western Electric 500 rotary telephone, with a hint to its touch tone push buttons cousin. Designed to work with modern connections, and has two important extra holes in its dial wheel. So the Sangyn can be used for everything because it has the ability to use the pound and star features of its push buttons rival.It is well built with today’s circuits, but has the feel of its beloved ancestor. Got a real bell insidethat is loud when it is ringing. Since I don’t have Ma Bell for service, I use a X-Link gateway that uses the Bluetooth of my cellular phone for its dial tone, and supplies plenty of electricity to power it.Really happy with this purchase*****

Love the phone and color

I like the old rotary style. But I really wanted an exact copy of the original rotary phones the way they were in the 1960's and 1970s, which this is not.1.) Recoil of the rotary dialer is somewhat as a cheap uneven snap-back as opposed to how the original dialers used to flow back gradually and evenly.2.) The # and * appear below the zero placement. So the phone feels less authentic. The "0" is in the third position near the end of the dialing sequence.3.) After dialing when in pulse mode, you hear the corresponding DTMF beep after each dialed number, which is not authentic.4.) The ringer volume "H/L" switch on the bottom of the phone is actually a ringer "on/off" switch, which is what I wanted. But it is not correctly labeled.So this phone just isn't very authentic other than how it looks. But I gave it four stars since none of the others I found on Amazon looked completely authentic either.

Easy to dial, I like the sound when I dial. Perfect for my space because it matches my coffee maker.

Works well. Using in the living room of our home. Was fun teaching our teenagers how to use it.

Adorable

At first, the phone worked great, but after about a week, I picked up the receiver to make a call, and when I dialed a number, it didn't register. The dial tone just stayed on as if I hadn't dialed anything. I replaced the phone extension wire I was using and it works great now.
