WORKING ROTARY 1947 Professionally RESTORED Vintage Kellogg REDBAR Telephone

Description: The Type 1000 Masterphone, known by telephone collectors today as the Kellogg Redbar, went into production in 1947, the 50th anniversary year of this family-owned company, while Jim Kellogg, Milo's grandson, was president. Four years later, Kellogg's controlling interest was purchased by International Telephone & Telegraph (ITT). A series of name changes - ITT Kellogg and then ITT Telecommunications, followed later.The Redbar is easily recognized by its bright red hook switch actuator plunger. It is similar in size, weight and general shape to Western Electric's 302, Stromberg Carlson's 1243 and Automatic Electric's 40 type telephones, all of which were introduced earlier and were Redbar contemporaries. Its molded black bakelite housing has smooth contours and a slightly puffed-up appearance. But inside, the Type 1000 is very different from the others. Rather than the mass of tangled wires connecting the various components together in other telephones, there is instead a one-piece molded interconnecting block that includes the hook switch. The condenser and induction coil are fully encapsulated and equipped with plugs that are inserted into sockets just like tubes in the radios of that era. The sockets and screw terminals are interconnected by a grid of tinned brass bars soldered in place on the underside of the block. The 3 conductor spade-tipped handset cord connects to screw terminals on the left side of the connecting block and the 3-conductor line cord to terminals on the right side. Screw terminals are clearly marked with their function. There is no confusion, such as exists with other kinds of phones from that era, about which wire goes where if cords or internal components are disconnected and replaced. Installation and repair was a cinch.Restoration:This phone has been 100% tested and operational. Every dial, cord, handset, and surface has been gone over. This phone is in exceptional condition and sure to be a beautiful addition to your home or office.If you plan on using this phone on a VOIP or local phone company, it is best to check that they support 'pulse dialing'. If not we offer a pulse to tone converter for $80 that is installed inside the phone base. Alternatively you can buy an external pulse to tone converter off amazon. Every phone can come with a customizable center dial card with a phone number you provide, or if you prefer you can elect to keep the dial card as photographed for that extra Vintage touch. Rotary Restorations most important goal is our customers satisfaction. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, we accept returns within 30 days*. *Buy pays for shipping
