This is a black telephone from 1967 (Showa 42). As you can see, it's a bit worn. Black telephones from this era are heavy, as everything was analog. Photo 6 shows the inside, with electromagnets used to strike the bells on both sides to make them ring. I bet the modification enthusiasts are getting excited! Photo 7 shows the inside of a newer type, but it's not as interesting... the construction is too simple. Body only, as-is. If I just pack it as is, the bell will ring during transport, so I will disable the bell in an analog way before shipping. Please remove the disabling mechanism yourself. #blackphone #ringring #Showa #analogbell #600a1
