TOUCH TONE  » P R I N C E S S «        WesternElectric / USA (1965)
*******************************************************************
                                                       Model 2702BM

The  »PRINCESS«  was designed  to fit  on a  bedside table.  It has
a night light feature ( illuminated keyboard ), but the 6.3 V light
bulb requires an  EXTERNAL TRANSFORMER,  plugged into an outlet.
There is an  ON/OFF switch  for the lamp on the  back side  and the
ringer volume  can be dimmed  with a switch  on the bottom side.

In 1959 the DIAL Model »PRINCESS« was introduced by BELL SYSTEM ...

      Have a look at the ROTARY DIAL VERSION ...

Henry Dreyfuss (1904-1972), a celebrated  industrial designer, gave
the 302, 500, PRINCESS  & TRIMLINE their style - He also designed
JohnDeere tractors, Hoover vacuum cleaners, and streamlined trains.

      Historical Remarks ...

The LETTERS ON THE DIALER are for  MEMORIZING TELEPHONE NUMBERS ...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
      1             4 = G H I     7 = P R S     0 = Operator
      2 = A B C     5 = J K L     8 = T U V
      3 = D E F     6 = M N O     9 = W X Y

REMARK TO RESTORATION:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The 1965 PRINCESS  has the same keyboard as the "Red Telephone" ...

If you got a  touch tone telephone  and all is working well ( bell,
communication )  except the KEYBOARD doesn't react,  than TRY THIS:
The keyboard is  sensitive to the polarity  of the incomming wires. 
Exchange the wires ( RED, GREEN ) either in the  outlet, or in the
telephone, or use a  "crossed" cable  between telephone & outlet...
