  Near perfect remake with the same materials

L.M.Ericsson remanufactured their popular model AC110 skeletal in 1976 under commission from the Swiss PTT to celebrate the 100th anniversary of both the first patent of the telephone in February 1876 and the founding of LM Ericsson Company in April 1876. The Ericsson AC110, originally designated a model #7 and designed in 1892 was the first commercially available desk telephone with a one piece handset on cradle and became the mainstay of the company for nearly 38 years with over one million units produced.

5000 units of this remanufactured telephone were produced and are extremely accurate except for two easily noted mistakes in design that was either by intention to prevent being mistaken for original or the result of a flipped image of an original used in the design layout. Note that the ringer motor is located on the opposite side of the telephone. In addition the handset cord enters the side of the ebonite deck where the line terminal cord should enter as opposed to being connected to exterior terminals on the side of the deck.
