TELEPHONE PARTS

 

We do maintain an inventory of various individual telephone parts.  We welcome inquiries regarding parts sales because we can and will sell certain individual parts when we have a surplus of them.

 

However, unless we have a surplus, we do not sell individual telephone parts because they are often needed for complete telephones and for certain types of customer repairs.

 

To purchase individual telephone parts which we are unable to supply, we highly recommend Phoneco, Inc. of Galesville, WI (www.phonecoinc.com), or telephone them at 608-582-4124.  They are nice folks to deal with.

OUR TELEPHONES WORK - AND THEY ARE GUARANTEED!


GUARANTEE

All Wistful Vista telephones are guaranteed against operational failure due to defective parts.  We will repair or replace any defective part free of charge within one (1) year of purchase.  All of our telephones are compatible with most modern switching equipment.  However, our guarantee does not cover operational failure on telephone services provided by cable TV, the Internet (VOIP), or on any telephone system that does not support pulse dialing.


Wistful Vista Telephone Co.® telephones look and work like they just came from the factory.  Still, customers are advised that the original telephones we sell are old – some of them over 100 years old.  Over the years, some have acquired minor imperfections in the metal and/or bakelite surfaces, which will not detract from their functionality, beauty or collector value.  However, original bakelite parts will be free of cracks, chips and significant gouges.  The availability and prices of all items listed on this website are subject to change without notice.
