Cute compact landline answerphone (Dean EH4)

There are two reasons YOU MIGHT NOT WANT THIS: first, its answerphone is a little quiet; second, its number pad buttons are hard to activate, making it annoying as a main outgoing phone but fine for answering incoming calls and recording messages. I suspect that if you could open the handset and spray a little contact cleaner in there, it would improve greatly. I didn't try.

This is a very cute Philips landline answerphone, with a little plate that serves either as a wall mount or a foot to prop the 'phone up at an angle. It is working fine other than the above two caveats.

You may notice that there are two power supplies: the first (top left) is its original, and it died a while back, but is useful to have around for the original voltage/power spec. The second (top right) is a replacement I got for it which is way more powerful and flexible than it needs to be, but does the job just fine.
