Introduced in 1959, the initial 700 type telephone used
the 300 Type body with a new handset and transmission circuit.
However, this was a stopgap until a new plastic body could
be developed. The design for the new 706 body probably looked
to the American Bell 500 telephone for inspiration. The
use of plastic meant that a greater range of colours could
be used. Another innovation was the now universal curly
cord. In the 1970s, the 700 Type telephone was given a minor
facelift. The bodyshape was slightly modified as was the
method of fixing the case to the body. Later on, the cradle
rest was further modified to ensure that the handset sat
firmly on the hook-switch. Here we present our range of
original telephones, which have been restored to full working
order - the bodies have also been polished, bringing the
telephone almost back to its new condition. For most colours,
we also offer a "Museum Grade" option, for customers
who want a telephone with an absolute mint appearance -
our museum grade 746 telephones are supplied with brand
new handsets, bodies and cords. These phones
will work in virtually every country, and in many cases
- if you let us know beforehand - we can make sure the telephone
is delivered with the correct plug for your telephone network.
All telephones have a 12 month guarantee. We also
offer a full repair service. Click here for a >>
