As a final update, I have tried the phone again on my own line at home and apart from a little background "shish", which is there but not quite as much on my trusty "746" phone with electronic transmitter, it works fine. Not quite as loud as the 746 but as MrElectronicman says it probably was always like that.

Altogether a little odd. I had had the thing to bits to clean it but it was thoroughly "warm and dry" when I tested it and got the noise. A good one for the collection then...

Thanks folks for all your suggestions, have gone as as far as needed with this one!
