BVX 1940 Field Telephone

[Martin Bull]

57 Euros sounds like a raving bargain to me !

The phone looks great in the photos - let us know when it arrives .........

I just bought one of those dated 1939 a couple of weeks ago, cost $50 Canadian!, And no straps of course.

Wish I could buy one in Australia for under $100 ......

77 US dollars is damn good bargain. If the phone works - even better. If the battery label is intact EVEN better! Let me know when it arrives and I can walk you through checking the phone to see if it works. A 1.5 volt battery adapter and a quick check of the Sprechtaste is needed. Typically, the handsets are the first component to fail due to cabling or microphones. The base components almost never fail. NH

Thanks NH, I'm looking forward to it myself, probably a week from now, it will arrive...

UPDATE:

The phone arrived...
Took some quick horrible cellphone pics of the battery: Thankfully, it's original factory "Element d (T-30)" with a 1942 date - in good condition.

The battery looks pretty good. One in really poor condition just sold for 34 Euros on Fleabay. Have you tried connecting a modern 1.5 volt battery and testing the Sprechtaste on the handset? NH
