These telephones,
based on the BPO Telephone 150 design, deserve inclusion here since
they were first introduced in the 1980s, making them near
antiques in their own right, and also on account of the statement
that part of the tooling used to create the metalwork was
originally used to make the Telephone 150. Be that as it may, the
company introduced four models with dials, PST line cords (in
black PVC) and ‘green circle’ approval for connection
to the public network.
