I started a thread a while ago called "My GPO Rotary Telephone Collection" that thread is getting a bit long now so i thought I would start a new one for anyone of interest. I thought I would start it off with this.
Here is my 1983 serviced in 86 British Telecom Special Range Mickey Mouse telephone, this one is in fantastic condition, unlike my Snoopy And Woodstock phone, this one is pushbutton and has a bell ringer (earlier styles of these had a Trimphone ringer and a rotary dial). Although it is Pushbutton it is still pulse dial and not touchtone, exchange didn't really support digital touchtones until the late 80s in the UK. Here he is anyway, a BT classic! There he is next to Snoopy (earlier type, earlier Mickey's would of had a dial 78-82 ish) |

which was projecting off the Empire state building last night? I think it was both arrogant, and yet humble, seeing as the winner did not win in NY state by a very wide margin. |

the NY margin of his loss was wide. If the election was so rigged, as he said it was, how did he win it? |

The train station in my city was restored a few years ago and they kept a lot of the original 1920s vintage fixtures to convey a feeling of stepping back in time, including a vintage Southern Railroad schedule board and the old wooden telephone booths, sans telephones. They now have stickers on the windows identifying them as cell phone booths, where one can retreat for a private phone conversation.

Hello I am not sure which green one you mean? I don't yet have a green 746...You were right about paying extra for a coloured telephone!
The official colours of the 700 series (typical 70s bell phone) were: Black Ivory Two tone grey Two tone green Laquer red Concord blue Topaz yellow And brown The trimphones came in grey Two tone green And two tone blue, I have the two tone blue. |
