Come to think of it, I have never seen a user's manual for one of these. Anyone know of one?
Bill G.,
I'd also love to see any / all user information pamphlets, for any of the telephones made.
I also greatly enjoy the very old dial cards that instruct a neophyte how to operate the dial mechanism... makes perfect sense, since they were once new and strange to most folks, especially in non-urban areas.
I think the majority of the user's manual is contained right there in the center of the dial. Granted, the ringer adjustment sheet would be a boon, as well.
Chimps would have it figured in 30 seconds or less, but not Homo sapiens sapiens; we need instructions, diagrams with circles and arrows, and tech support 1-800 numbers lol!!!
Look around, and you'll still notice supraorbital ridges, and even the occasional sagittal crest. They're actually less 'de-volved' than the general populace.

These devices were conceived, manufactured, and distributed during an era when 'common sense' was not an archaic term.
Best regards!
