Ok, well it's not exactly a radio, but it's definitely vintage. I picked up a 1961 Western Electric made Bell rotary dial telephone. And it actually works on my VOIP phone system. I love that it still has the original phone number card on the dial, along with the old style exchange. I grew up with a phone like this. It's pretty RF proof too...... Attachments:

Nice! I had a white wall rotary dial phone that I removed the bell on and replaced with a red lamp as I wasn't allowed late night calls. That way the phone made no noise when people called. I can't tell you how many night I was up until 3 or 4 am shooting DX or just rag chewing.  |

You'll have to take the cover off just like we did a bunch of times when we were kids. Don't forget to unscrew the head set parts while you're at it, haha.
