ANOTHER INCREDIBLE FIND (As Brand New)
AA NOVATEL NVT-1320 ETACS 1992
April 1992
(The best condition we have ever seen one of these)
This Analogue Novatel NVT-1320 is becoming a rare collectable item. Valued at £400-£600 depending upon condition. It is extremely difficult to source these phones in excellent condition. This one is supplied with its original AA unmarked carry case, lead for in-car connection and the original instructions. The phone is in excellent/as new condition for a phone 18 yrs + old and really has been looked after if ever used. The package would make an ideal retro gift. The phone does power up and displays all the relevant keys’ all digits press correctly. The phone has been plugged into a 12v supply and powers up as stated. This is a wonderful piece for someone’s collection.
Please note: Due to the age of used batteries we cannot offer any form of warranty with them. They can be up to 20 years old. We check that the phone powers up the phone but have now way of testing how long the battery will perform for. We therefore recommend to get the best performance from your phone is to purchase a new battery.
