Ericofon 700 - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

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?

I do not have answer, but it is a special Ericofon page: https://ericofon.com/
Maybe they know?

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.

Looks like it may be made in several versions:
