1975 Aiphone TA-6Y Intercom – Made in Japan

In International Vintage Telephones

This 1975 Aiphone TA-6Y is a telephone-style intercom manufactured in Japan by Aiphone.

Designed for voice communication within a building, the TA-6Y uses a familiar handset-style design. It represents a different branch of telephone-related equipment, extending beyond conventional telephones into intercom systems.

This example came from the late David Charles Collection and is part of the Old Telephone Room’s personal collection of vintage telephones and telecommunications equipment from around the world.

Though long since discontinued, the TA-6Y has earned a reputation as a durable and practical intercom system, with many examples still operating decades after their original installation.
