STC TELEPHONE CAT No. 7706 and 7707

The 7006 was a basic low-cost version of the BPO Telephone No. 706 made by STC.  It is believed that these STC 7006 telephones were also resold by Modern Telephones Ltd.  Modern Telephones had a deal with STC to sell PO-approved PABXs made by STC.

Almost identical to the Tele. 706, it had a resistor network in place of the induction coil and a self contained microswitch/hookswitch.

Probably just used on PAX systems.

The CAT 7007 model had a recall switch and 4 wire line cord fitted.

Two-tone grey is the only colour seen.

Ericsson's N1900E244 was similar.

2. Connect red of new line cord to Terminal 11.
3. Connect a 3.3k resistor between terminals 13 and 12.
