Nice rig Fabe - they bring about $200 over here and I had one years back and would like another but the cost of shipping to Australia is crazy.
Cheers, Dan

THX Guys, no, only these pics...if I do bid, I could possibly get it for around 60 EU, but who knows...there is 20 hours left...
-
Well for 60 it could be worth while.... of course it's a guess if the battery is original..... but if it is, it's a bargain....
Be carefull when buying straps for it... there are many fakes / post war straps on the market

I'm tempted...
no plans for starps - first, I still have to get straps from you for my sand-painted gasmask can (I didn't forget, just won too many bids in the last few weeks)

These phones do not require 4.5 volt batteries. They used 1.5 volt batteries - the chemical type. The battery looks OK to me - and it is in fact more valuable than the phone! You can check to see if the base phone component works by getting a D-battery pack and connecting it to the two brass posts in the battery compartment. It is complete with the exception of two things - the carry strap and the extra cable which was normally kept in the little slot next to the battery compartment. 90 to 100 US dollars is not unusual now for a working phone. The battery may be worth 100 US dollars or more depending upon the condition of the label. Too bad we can't see it. Attached a photo of my phones and switchboard in useduring a re-enactment at Old Bedford Village, PA. NH

Cheers,
Fabe
