Has anyone heard of a 5310

[bushman]

I just picked up a 5302 (waiting for it to arrive) . But I noticed in the pictures it actually is marked 5310. It has an additional button. but it appears to be a push button. Not like the 5410 2 line button. Just curious.

Hi

2-line.  Key (turn-switch) below and to the left of dial.

I am not aware of any BSP for a 5310 set.

Bushman,

Can you post the pictures or links to them?

Excellent snag! You can't beat that price.

The button temporarily connects the green and yellow wires from the line cord.  Perhaps this is a 'ground-start' button, possibly for use on a PBX.

There have been similar 5310 sightings several times in the past (possibly this set several times).  As Russ pointed out, we haven't seen a BSP or formal documentation that covers this yet.

The general numbering rule for 5302-style sets is that the phone is a converted desk set from a standard 300-series and uses the 300-series model number preceeded by a 5.  Has anyone seen a reference to a BSP or catalog entry for a 310 set?  Has anyone seen a standard 300-series set with a pushbutton in this position?

As Larry stated, the speculation has been that the phone(s) were created for use behind a PBX -- probably by a non-Bell System refurbisher.

Paul;
If that is the case, then a BSP wouldn't exist correct? No official paper trail.

D/P,

A Bell System paper trail wouldn't exist if there was no Bell System 5310 or 310 set. 

Absent a Bell System paper trail, we can suspect that it's most likely that the 5310 number was created by the non-Bell System refurbisher.

(The documentation for a 5310 may be out there waiting to be discovered!)
