Tels (H). I must remember that. Next time I get near them I will confirm that but you will be correct.
I have not seen those phones for a while as I have too much "stuff".
As I remember they look almost identical to the Tels "L" except for the lack of a battery box.
I have a few of the ex PMG (Post Master Generals Department) phones that look identical to the Tels (L) except for the door on the left hand side to the left of the battery box. Under the lid is a standard rotary dial.
Not a bad phone to use actually. It will work on manual, CB or auto.
The batteries are still used to power the microphone circuit.
Cheers, Robert.
