The Model 183 was first introduced in 1958 to replace the aging Model 43 design that had been in production since 1938. Spacemaker phones were designed specifically for cramped environments like small apartments. My favorite feature of the 183 is the swivel style dial, allowing the phone to be displayed both front and side mounted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"body\"\u003eThe Model 183 has an internal network so it does not require a separate subset in order to connect to the line. Due to the obvious size limitations of the housing, however, a ringer was not included internally, but could be added externally if desired. We have added an external matching ringer box that really captures the full antique phone experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough Automatic Electric never produced an aqua 183, we really feel that the design suits the color, and hope you will agree.The handset has also been expertly repainted so that the entire phone has a \"like new\" look and feel. The result is nothing less than spectacular! We accomplish this using a product called Polane. This is the very same product used by Automatic Electric years ago to factory refurbish their telephones. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dial has an excellent alphanumeric porcelain dial plate that shows virtually no wear and a customr matching Automatic Electric dial centre. It has been overhauled, timed and lubricated to ensure years of troublefree service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a finishing touch, an aqua curly handset cord, and matching modern line cords have been added to this classic.

The XLink Bluetooth gateway is an device external to the phone that gets it’s power from a standard AC outlet. The cord from the phone will then connect to a phone jack on the gateway. When you pair the gateway to an active Bluetooth enabled cell phone, you will be able to use the vintage phone just like it was connected to a traditional landline. When someone calls your cell phone, the vintage phone will ring. When you dial the vintage phone, it will dial and connect to the called number.
