GPO 746 Französisches Blaues Telefon

I just love this phone. The ring is loud and I have no trouble hearingthe other person.

Although the phone was exactly what my Grandfather wanted, it broke after about 3 months so very disappointing.

Certainly a brighter red than in image - but I like it - lovely ring that can’t be ignored!!

After unpacking and connecting to the telephone hub I tried to dial and realised the dial was not connected to the body properly. Investigation revealed two small clips broken that should attach the dial to the body. However, I thought I'd try to receive a call to see how the machine performed... I could hardly hear the bell ringing. It says authentic but I remember when these telephones were all you had and I can say it's not authentic. I have returned for a refund and am disappointed. Tacky and cheap.

Having re decorated my flat I wanted everything to be perfect. My lovely retro ivory phone looks the part. Plus it's a good weight
