Reproduction 8782 Telephones for utilization with VoIP

Currentlly I have a couple of BT 8782 'phones I use with VoIP. I like
the idea of using heritage technology with UK VoIP number. I use
Western Electric 2500s with my US number.

However, my 8282s are showing their age. I suffer from sticking keys,
dirty, hard to clean cords, and crackly microphones.

Has any one had experience of the reproduction versions, like
http://tinyurl.com/2uzqrry They have the look. But, how do they
perform? What sort of lifespan can I expect?

Thanks

Fill tub with cleaning solution.

8782s should have electret transmitters anyway, which can be
disassembled and repaired, or replaced (ebay)

If there is one thing nicer than an 8782 it's a 782 on a Plan 107.

Both main and extension are 782s. As it happens, I had a suitable
6-way (?) PST line cord to fit the extension 782. A Plan 105 would
have been a bit more complex.

One assumes you increased the bell impedence on both 'phones, and took
three conductors back from the base to the BT interface?

Oooh, no. Don't like that, they look out of place on a Planset base.

A 248 sat on a Bellset 44 dose it for me.

As it happens, I have the components to make one of those. Something
about which to think.

Can you suggest a solvent, and where same is available?

Washing-up liquid's as good as anything IMO.

Alcohol based wet-wipes or one of the proprietary laundry stain
removal preparations if you are afflicted with an ex-office phone
bearing ballpoint pen marks.
