General Questions and Answers:     PHONECO's How To Use This Site Page - (2)     PHONECO's Home Page - (4)         Question: Do you have dials for Stromberg Carlson Metal desk phones? Do you have                          a book on restoring these and other phones w/ schematics? and Can you                          tell me how to get these phones to ring? Thank You!            Answer: Stromberg did make their own dials, but they were not real realiable. We have                          them for $30.00 Often they used Automatic Electric dials, which were better. We                          have them for $30.00                          Often these phones had party line ringers and they will not ring or they have                          been disconnected.                          We have diagrams for various phones $1.00 ea.                          Old Time Technology by Ralph Meyers sells for $18.95 Lots of people like this                          one.         Question: I have recently acquired a beautiful Ivory French phone (made in                          Denmark). The mouthpiece is the only part that doesn't work. The                          following is printed on brass mouthpiece and bottom of phone:                          "KJOBENHAUNS TELEFON" AND "AKTIESELSKAB". Phone weighs 9#, has white                          cloth line with brass dial,raised                          numbers and crown and shield on dial. I                          took mouthpiece apart and the receiver capsule had a carbon type flat                          liner and                          small particles of carbon?? or something                          inside. How can I get to work? Send the receiver capsule to you to                          replace,                          repair, etc. Except for dial, very similar to your phone FRIV on page                          16 of                          your catalog. Please advise instructions and cost. Please also                          advise value. Thank you.            Answer: These handsets are nearly impossible to get to work. We upgrade them to modern                          elements if there is room in the housing.                          You may send it to us for repair.                          Estimate $50-60.         Question: Just received your catalog today VERY prompt service and a most                          impressive catalog. You are to be commended not only on service, but                          on an excellent web site as well. Keep up the good work.            Answer: Thank you for your kind words. You're comments are very much appreciated.         Question: I would like to know how many of the Stars & Stripes phones (Item                          PS13) you have on hand. Also, what would be my total cost including                          shipping for one of these phones. Do they actually work like a real                          phone? What is lead time on one of these?                                                    Hope to hear from you soon.                                                    Sue            Answer: At least a dozen @$150/ea plus approximately $10 S/H (depending of weight and                          where you live). Can be shipped same day if ordered before 3PM CST.     PHONECO's Textual Product Line Listing Page - None     About PHONECO - None     PHONECO's Policy - (1)     PHONECO's Location - (2)     Catalog Request - (1)     PHONECO's Search - None     PHONECO's Login - (1)     Cookies - None Main Products Questions and Answers: - (43) Miscellaneous Products Questions and Answers: - (19)
