1969 Northern Electric Replica 10 Button Contempra QSK 1100 AX

This is truly a one-of-a-kind fully working replica of the Northern Electric 10 Button Contempra QSK 1100 AX Prototype.
The original concept never made it past the prototype stage, although there may have been a field trial version.
This particular Green 10 Button Contempra phone was pieced together from parts spanning several years.
🔹 Base, ringer, network, receiver & transmitter, body & handset cord – 1969
🔹 Line cord – 1970
🔹 Digitone 12-button dial (modified into 10 button) – 1972
🔹 Handset plastics – 1974

A special thanks to Don Woodbury of Old Phone Works for donating some of the parts that made this replica possible.
