A stereo recording of an old style telephone. This is a genuine Bell System Ringer Model 687A (8/70) made by Western Electric. It's a tan box about 15x13x6 cm. It was usually placed in a warehouse or far from the main phone so people would know they had a call. Recorded with a Sony ECM-99 Stereo Microphone from about 2 feet away to a SonyMD recorder. There may be a little room noise with amplification.

A friend was looking for the sound of an old telephone to use as his phone ringer. This was it. Thank you.

They should never have allowed phones to sound any other way. This is perfect. Thank you.

I want this on my phone, but I cannot figure out how to get it to my phone. I don't have email on my phone, I tried to input the address, but it just tried to download it and said it didn't support this file type. I have a Verizon LG VX9400.
