Having problems with your eBay telephone?
Contact me, I may be able to help you.

Come and see the largest permanent display of Bakelite telephones, working ORIGINAL and antique telephones for sale in eastern England. The British 1920's and earlier Candlestick, Bakelite 200 and Bakelite 300 series. The American 500. The ornate Belgian desk and wall phones. The classic Danish range from turn of the century magneto to 60's Bakelite telephones and the famous Queens' Silver Jubilee Telephone of 1977. I specialise in genuine Bakelite telephones. The 300 series is the type of Bakelite telephone used on the Noel Edmunds "Deal or No Deal" TV Show.
I can convert and repair these, and many more.

Why take a chance on eBay, when you can buy from my shop, or by mail order a fully guaranteed quality telephone,  from a long established business, for a competitive price?
I have personally restored and sold in excess of 3000 (That is not a misprint) telephones since I started trading!

I usually only sell restored telephones. But I do also have large stocks of telephones for sale that can be restored to order. I should emphasise that all the telephones featured in this web site are actually in stock, but may be waiting restoration. It is always worth enquiring, if the telephone you are seeking cannot be seen on my pages.

I prefer payment by all the usual Credit/Debit Cards.

If you wish to place an order, or have an enquiry, please read all of this section before trying to contact me.

I much prefer it you to call me (Gavin Payne) by telephone if you wish to place an order, or have an enquiry. While my wife is now at home convalescing from her accident, I can usually be reached 9.00am to 5.00pm. Calls in the evening are not appreciated and could make me very grumpy. The number is 01245 400601, or if calling from outside the United Kingdom (44)1245 400601.

I am in attendance in the shop most Saturday and Sunday mornings between 10.00 and 12.00.

If you have a telephone in your possession that you want to know more about, or have repaired or converted, please have it right next to you when you call. It is not sufficient just to have a note of any markings or to rely on memory. It may be useful to have a selection of small flat bladed screwdrivers to hand.
Please also note, I do not give advice for DIY repairs or conversions or valuations of any kind over the telephone or by email. You are welcome to bring the telephone to my shop.

Emails to gp@theoldtelephone.co.uk .  If you do not receive an answer to an email in a day or so, please call me on the telephone number above.
