BTMC 2712 B

[wds]

Grabbed this nice 2712 off of the BIN on Ebay.  I identified the model off the BTMC 1936 catalog.  I sent the Seller the usual packing instructions, which they totally ignored.  The Seller didn't even use a box, instead they just wrapped the phone with card board and put a stamp on it.  It's a miracle it arrived in one piece.

I think that that is the one which was listed on ebay, marked as sold, and then reappeared a few days later.  I was almost tempted to buy it.  I figured that wds would get it if I didn't.  The seller indicated that he had no idea what it was, but after a bit of searching, I found that i was, in fact, a Belgian BTMC phone.  I am sure glad to hear that it arrived safely despite its shipping ordeal.

I didn't notice before, but apparently it was listed 3 times.  I'm trying to get better about watching the BIN's.  I guess this "all in one" phone predates the 302 by a few years.

In the listing pictures, the handset looked really faded.  You made it look much better.

Yes it was.  I hit it with some fine steel wool, and it polished up pretty nice.

That sure is one pretty phone. What is the base material made from?

According to the catalog, the upper housing is aluminum, the square base is steel.
