PURCHASING LIMITS

new Plessey Mickey Mouse telephone from Plessey will be £54.64.
Notes:
The handset looks like a Handset No. 16 but is in fact slightly smaller. A Handset No. 16
cannot be substituted for the original as it is too big and will not be held by
Mickey's
hand.
The ringer is a tone ringer that is the same as the one fitted to the
Trimphone (Telephone No. 722).
The large white button to the left of the dial is a recall button used for transferring
calls on telephone systems.
