5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for restoring old phones, February 20, 2001

S. Geist (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Old Time Telephones : Restoration & Repair (Paperback)

If you're interested in old telephones, you need this book! Plenty of photos to help you identify old phones and their parts and much more importantly, wiring diagrams so you can make 'em work again. Also has a section on how to clean up old phones and make them look and work like new. This book is available in-stock elsewhere as a reprint edition, but is worth the wait if you want to order it here.
