Dialing 1 through zero on an old Western Electric model 500 rotary telephone. I’ve made this sound a free download at . To allow sound editors to select the dialed numbers they want to use, I’ve paused after dialing each number. Enjoy!
The Western Electric model 500 telephone series was a classic rotary black phone and the standard domestic desk telephone set issued by the Bell System in North America from 1950 through the 1984 Bell System divestiture.
Millions of model 500-series phones were produced and were present in most homes in North America. Many are still in use today because of their durability and ample availability. Its modular construction compared to previous types simplified manufacture and repair, and facilitated a large number of variants with added features. In Canada the same model 500 was manufactured by Bell Northern Telecom.
For the initial years, from 1950 to 1953, the 500 was available only in black with a metal finger wheel. In 1954, color telephone sets were available in ivory, green, dark gray, red, brown, beige, yellow, and blue. Gray, blue, yellow, and red sets were initially assembled with black dials, until the colored parts became available by 1955. So called two-tone color varieties were available, which consisted of a black set having the housing substituted with a color plastic part. They were offered as an attractive color combination for a reduced fee from the price of a full color telephone. In 1957, gray, blue, beige, and brown sets were replaced with lighter pastel hues in light gray, aqua blue, light beige, white, and pink colors. Issuance of brown sets, however, continued for multi-line business sets for several years. Turquoise sets were added in 1964, and several colors, including pink and light gray, were discontinued in the late 1960s.
By 1955, all color 500s were produced with clear finger wheels, while black sets retained the metal finger wheel until about 1964, when a new dial design was released. Now vintage, this mid century modern MCM phone also known as a landline is my favorite telephone.
The distinct ringing bells sound was created by two brass bells and a striker, later replaced replaced by cheaper electronic ringtones.
