Here are what some of our customers have said about us
Hi Mark. I received the WE302 today and I couldn't be more pleased if I tried. You did an absolutely AMAZING job with my phone. You have my business forever since your workmanship is so unbelievable. I have a 102 and a 202 and I'd be immensely comfortable having you work on them too! Hopefully you could make them usable on my landline too. The phone looks BEAUTIFUL. I have an 1897 house and my phone will really set the front room off. I'm rambling now so I'll just say I'm so glad I found your shop.
Thanks a ton! Sincerely, Rob Thompson Catonsville, Md.
These items arrived today. Bravo! The AE dial plates are beautiful. They are for a collector friend of mine in Vienna, Austria. He will be very pleased. As for the WE receiver and cap, they are outstanding. I am pleased to use replicas of this quality for perfection in my collection.

Mark,
I just received the candlestick phone back that I sent for restoration. You really have outdone yourself on this one. You have restored many phones for us in the past and do beautiful work. But I cant believe my eyes. The nickle plating and the green cords are exactly what I wanted. I cant thank you enough

Old Phone shop,
A friend of mine referred me to you a while back. I've been a steady customer for a few years. You have always managed to come up with any part I needed, even when others failed. I received the 1937 Western Electric 302 today and I want to tell you that I am extremely happy. I plan on ordering another telephone from you very shortly. Possibly a payphone, as your payphones appear to be the best I've ever seen. I will send you some pictures of our phone display shortly

Just a quick note to tell you guys how pleased I am with the phone I purchased from you. You shipped quickly, the package came in perfect condition and the phone is everything I expected.
I have attached a photo of the phone installed in it’s new home. The phone was very easy to install and with the addition of the pulse to digital converter you suggested, the phone worked perfectly out of the box for both incoming and outgoing calls.
Thanks for helping me include this amazing new feature that adds so much more character to my garage. I will certainly tell anyone that is looking for a vintage phone to check out your website before going anywhere else.
Thanks again! Regards,
Mike Steele

Hi Mark,
Just got the phone about two hours ago. It looks awesome; it was going to be a Christmas present for my wife. But, you can guess who walked in the room as I was taking it out of the box. Yea, it was her she went nuts over it. It is already on a phone stand in our living room. Guess I’ll have to find something for her to open on Christmas day…..
Thanks again,

Hello Mark & Everyone who helps,

Dear Mark:-
The equipment was delivered yesterday. Thanks for more good work and great packaging!
I wanted to thank you for the nice shopping experience I had with your company, Old Phone Shop recently. I purchased the 1920s C1 mount 201 Space Saver set, and you you got on this order right away. The phone arrived just before Christmas and it is in excellent shape. A very nice addition to my collection. It is rare these days to find businesses that do such good work, follow-through quickly, and exceed expectations.
Thank you for such great job!

The phone arrived and it looks great! I also plugged it in and got a dial tone so I called my brother and he answered.
I asked him if my voice sounded different and he said no so then I asked him if he call me back.
He did and since I heard another phone ring, I picked up and there he was.
I am so happy with the result and your fantastic work reconditioning it. If you ever need a recommendation,
I will be very pleased to provide one
Thank you again

The phone arrived late yesterday and I unpacked it this morning. The packing would have protected it to the moon! Well done! LOL
More important is that I checked it over very carefully. It is in excellent condition – almost too perfect but most of the other antique pieces in the old house are superior as well.
The bells ring, the dial works, and of course there is no wait for a dial tone in 2022. I do have standard dial service and my other dial phones work fine also.
I did do a test call long distance to Florida and the phone worked well. We noticed that the overall volume of both parties was not what we are used to with our cell phones.
I find that to be true when speaking on my other dial phones too.
Clearly it is no wonder that when the candlesticks were in vogue the user needed to hold the body of the phone close to his/her mouth and
the mouthpiece undoubtedly picked up the name “spit cup” as a result.
The all-in-one handsets on the 102/202 helped to resolve that issue.
Thanks ever so much for your time and effort in this part of the “1928” restoration of my 1915 Craftsman Bungalow.
This jet-black phone will be mounted on a wall in the kitchen, which uses black and white subway tile in a deco design.
Yes, there are several other period correct details, both original and reproductions, throughout the small house.
The house itself is nearly all original in construction and structural detail.
We are all so used to modern conveniences that we have essentially forgotten the old ways.
Using this 90+ year old phone is, and will be, an experience in the 21st century for sure, and it will be part of the fun that this old house is generating.
I just wanted to say I am so very happy with the work you did on my phone it was worth every penny I paid you.
You are a miracle worker when it comes to phones. Thank You Again for your fine work.
Thanks Francis Benkofske
