Guess Western Will be sued into oblivion...
Woops forgot Government previously destroyed them,,never mind
Touch-tone version was “2500”.
Amen! Growing up, my family used the same model in beige. People today don’t realize that customers leased the equipment and didn’t own it. When Bell Telephone broke up, I recall my folks paying a few dollars to keep their sets.
My Dad was career Army Signal Corps and a WWII combat veteran (Pacific theater). He did a lot of work with Bell Labs, Western Electric, and AT&T. He arranged for me to join a tour of the C.S. Long Lines when I was in high school, an interesting field trip.
