The debut  of the  "RED TELEPHONE"  was in the 60/70s "Cold-War's
Hot-Line"  to the  Kremlin.  This  was  the  1st  step  into  the
"Electronic  Age":    Only  1 ( one! )  transistor  and  lots  of
mechanics  -  as  can  be  seen  in the picture  of the keyboard,
taken on a mirror ...

Historical Remarks ...

R E M A R K   T O   R E S T O R A T I O N :
-----------------------------------------------------------------
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...
