Not exactly vintage
I have added some more phones to my collection, nothing special, more common later ones, as I said they are not what I would call vintage, anyway I came across this red phone, it was pretty dirty to say the least but cleaned up quite well.
Its a TSR 8005 type B (no bell or redial), I have only found a little information about it, so is STM 83/2, the date of the phone? The other thing is the microphone, transmitter, what ever the correct name for it is, is on the quiet side, can I replace it with one from a similar model or aged phone. Thanks. |

Re: Not exactly vintage
Yes, it called a 'Candlestick' made by STC and was available in red, white or black.
There are some further pictures and a little more info on my Telephones UK web site HERE |

Re: Not exactly vintage
Thanks for the reply, yes candlestick, I think I worked that out, made in Black or white and later introduced in red.
Not much info on the net that was why I was asking. |

Re: Not exactly vintage
Yes, 83 is the manufacture year of your phone. If you haven't seen it already this site might be of interest: http://www.britishtelephones.com/tsr1005.htm
