Western Electric \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Princess\u00e2\u20ac\u009d compact telephone from 1984<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I got this phone at a junk swap event. It had a broken handset jack, but I got a replacement from OldPhoneWorks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It has a distinctive, loud ring:<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/scruss.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/WesternElectric_CS2702BMG-Princess_TelephoneRing.flac<\/a><\/audio>\n
