Ericofon 700
I have acquired an Ericofon 700 (DTMF dialling) which is in working order except that no DTMF tones are produced, so I suspect there is a problem with the push-button unit.
My initial problem is that I cannot see how to open up the unit, as there are no screws, or other attachment mechanism, visible in the base as there are in the older Ericofons. Can anyone tell me how to get at the innard of this 'phone?

Re: Ericofon 700
Yes, this is a great web site for all things Ericofon, but annoyingly, it explains the obvious of how to dismantle the standard Ericofon (remove the four screws), however I can find no mention of the 700.

Re: Ericofon 700
Looks like it may be made in several versions:

At least this one does dial out - albeit using loop disconnect dialling despite having star and hash buttons on the keypad. I shall return to the original 700 and try to prise off the base rubber without damaging it. Then I should be able to assemble at least one fully-working Ericofon 700.

Back then, the US telephone system was a monopoly. It mandated that the equipment they furnished be used on their lines. |
