After spending an hour or two playing with this telephone, coins started to get stuck in it. It was impossible to get those out without opening the casing. After reviewing the build (which is very plastic and of average quality), I spotted a major design flaw in the coin drop. In order to get the authentic bell chime when coins are inserted, coins are designed to fall on the bell (this phone has a real ringer bell). However, the placement of the bell is positioned exactly below of where the coins normally hit. So they don't really bounce to the side, which means that the bell absorbs most of the energy from the drop. To make things worse, the bell is attached with two screws, of which one is in the way of the fall of the coin, where it is supposed to bounce normally. This is of course a huge cause of coin jams. So I had to remove this screw, and instead I glued the other end of the bell mount to the plastic chassis. This way, there is no screw obstructing the drop of the coins. Indeed, coins don't get stuck as easily now, but they still do. Therefore, its essential to shake the first coin down properly if it gets stuck to prevent more complicated jams when more coins get stuck in the coin drop. Then you might have to unscrew the whole phone in order to clear the jam.Other than that, it looks really nice, although it is indeed a bit plastic and is easily spotted as a cheap replica. The sound quality is good, and the receiver does give a good feeling of the original one. However, the receiver cord is a standard cord, and is not modified to look old in any way. The coin door lock is really fragile and can be opened by almost anything, but I guess that is to be expected. The coin return is just cosmetic.
