Vintage Telephony

Restoration Service

GPO Bakelite telephone
We specialise in British Bakelite telephones from the early to mid-20th century and carry a large stock of original and replacement parts. We have over 25 years of experience and pride ourselves on quality and sympathetic restoration.

Much of our work is now focused on making vintage telephones VOIP ready and in recent years we have helped keep well over 2000 vintage dial telephones working on the new VOIP services.

Each telephone is different, and each customer deserves a personalised service. We will need to discuss your restoration requirements before any quote is given. Our customers typically send their telephone for inspection and we will quote once we have assessed the work required. Please do not ask us to quote on the basis of a model number alone, we cannot provide a fixed quote on the restoration of a telephone we have not seen.

As an illutration, please see prices below based on converting a black Bakelite 300s telephone.

  • Dial service - £23.00
  • New braided handset and round section line cord in brown - £34.00
  • Replacement transmitter - £8.50
  • Strip, clean, polish and rebuild - £35.00
  •  inDAT/inDAT300 - £48

Our VoIP restorations typically cost between £100-150 and will vary from model to model and the staring condition of the supplied telephone.

** Our inDAT and inDAT300 are available only as part of our restoration service or as a retrofit to a telephone we have previously supplied. **
