Cherry Red 12 Ft Phone Handset Cord Coil Curly Telephone Coca Cola Vintage RD

Description

This is a cherry red cord. It will work fine on many old phones but color will not match perfectly. It is pretty close (see the pictures).
This cord will only work on Mickey phones that use the modular connector. Some required a hardwired "spade tip" cord. In general it will work on just about any phone made in the last 30 years
except
Crosley and some Coca Cola phones that have one or both ends "hardwired." If your cord "clips" in on both ends. this cord will work fine.
Notice the various
pictures showing the cord.
The maximum
practical
working length of this cord is 7 feet. Relaxed the coiled portion of this cord is about 18 to 20 inches long, NOT 12 FEET. Add a little more for the uncoiled portion on each end. It is called a 12 foot cord because 12 feet of material goes into the curling machine. This naming scheme is confusing but it's the standard.
Other sellers use the terms "fully stretched" and "uncoiled". This cord would stretch to nearly 12 feet, but stretching any handset cord as far as it goes,
ruins
the cord. It starts to double over on itself and becomes a tangled mess in a short time.
We sell this same cord as just plain red. We also sell generic red cords in our store.
