BT phone (Ilford IG1)

Old BT phone. It works after a fashion. You can talk on it but it is a rotary dial so your phone provider will need to support dial pulse to be able to dial out (very unlikey). It used to ring with our BT line but you would need a broadband splitter or a master socket to get the ring current into the correct wire for other providers. Added to this, I think one of the capacitors has gone and it is not moving the ring hammer properly so it is quite a muted sound when a call comes in. I just liked having it in the hallway. I am thinking that it may be of use to an enthusiast or a drama club.
