The line cord was replaced so that it will plug into today's modern phone lines. The bottom and insides of the phone look like new. The phone is fully functional. It sounds like an old time phone. All antique rotary phones require a traditional landline for dialing out. If you have another type of phone service, check with your provider as you may need a pulse to tone converter to dial out. They can be purchased on eBay and easily added to the end of the phone line jack.See my other telephones and magnetos. Ships US Only
