Description

Northern Electric 233 Antique 3-Slot Payphone – with Mounting Plate and Ringer

This phone is in very good original condition with a few minor flaws. The overall finish is very nice, with bright chrome pieces and very few scratches or other blemishes on the painted surfaces. There is a section just above the vault door where some of the paint has worn away. The Northern Electric G3 handset has a rough finish, and the receiver cover has cracked from age, but it is still holding together well. The switch hook seems to bind with something inside the phone when dropped into the hung-up position, and does not return to its unloaded position. The vault door lock is missing and we were unable to open the door. The key to open the mechanics of the unit is included, and we were able to open the unit with it. The phone appears to be intact internally. The included 685A ringer appears to be intact as well. This is an antique item, and has not been refurbished, so some age wear is to be expected.

The item is untested and being sold as is.
