Hi Gordon.
Love the old radios and telephone.
I am also a sucker for old radios, I have a few of the old bakerlite ones but Linda acquired about 30 radios last year. The only thing is they are the old consol radios that are about 1m high and .800 w, so I have them stashed everywhere.

Cheers.

Gday Richard. When is a phone not a phone? When its a radio! Yep,lift the handpiece off the hook to switch on.The winder on the right side is the station tuner.

Being 120v i`ll have to dig out my old step-down transformer to see how it sounds.As for your console radios perhaps this place might be of interest:
