I was able to acquire 2 lt. blue (-62) princess phones for parts and got the older of the 2 working... the second unit has broken spade connections on the dial and is waiting for repair. while I was refurbishing these phones I noticed that the older models were only made for home use. looking at the schematic on these, the newer units have a extra switch pair for the a-lead control on a key system. I had some beige units that I donated at a roommates request a few years ago to make room for a freezer. I would love to get my hands on a princess phone that was made for the home interphone system, just to see how they built them... I've seen the 2713 and the 713 phones and am surprised they were able to fit all that into a small space. it looks like I may be collecting these again... fun to refurbish! I also looked at the ITT "Cinderella" phone and it is basically the same phone... I may even try to grab one of those if I find one...
