A red resistance radiophone cr55-re, crosley 302

June 17th, 2010

The rotary telephone was once hi-tech…but it ain’t no more.

This is not a rotary phone, it’s a force button phone.

The round center in the middle of the buttons is your re-dial button…so don’t intend you can stick a picture of fido or your kitty there, or like in the old days, your telephone number.

The hand set is loud and clear. I have caller id and my caller id box has redial on it for numbers i have stored there, so a phone like this outside all that “jazz” is fine by me. This is a bravo phone for clarity.

The plastic is not the old westinghouse weapons grade plastic….the old phones were so unbreakable you could practically hammer nails withy the handset…don’t try that withy this phone. The plastic is fine, it’s just not like your phone from the 60’s & 50’s. It’s not weapons grade…lol.

The phone comes withy a yearn cord so you don’t need to buy one, like i did. The yearn cord you see here on this page is not the same color ruddy as the telephone…fyi.

I’ve had no problems earshot the caller, or the caller earshot me on this phone. If you speak directly into the mouthpiece you can be too loud for the person on the other end, bravo for talking over people…lol.

I highly recommend this phone, it’s a bravo kitchen phone, adds a dash of color and spices up the place.

The ringer is not as bad as the original ringers, but it’s a ringer for sure. You can turn the ringer off.

The phone comes withy a “template for the holes” to mount it on the bar. Two anchors and two screws and it’s up. The jack is in the reverse of the phone.

You have to adjust your habits handling the handest. The handset does not accommodate the desire to rest the phone on your shoulder and use your two hands. You can do it, but it’s easier withy a handset that is flat. The handset is very convenient to hold, it’s balanced, and it’s big. It reaches my ear and mouth richly and makes crosley 302 wall phone easy to speak into the phone and easy to hear the caller.

The phone is easy on the eyes. Its clean looking design blends into much every kitchen in america.

I am very merry withy this phone, i expect it to most recent like the old westinghouse phones, perhaps i expect too much, perhaps not, only time will tell, i sill have a couple of the old black rotary phones made by westinghouse, they still work….if i hook em up…this phone looks like a rotary phone, but’s it’s not.

I like the way it looks in my kitchen, and it’s yearn cord lets me go anywhere in the kitchen and beyond.

If you want a new phone withy an old look that is familiar to you and reminds you of when you were younger, i intend this phone is it, and the rest of you can use cell phones for all i care. I never have to say “can you hear me now” withy this phone.
