Hi all,

I just snagged my first (non-modular) Western Electric 2500. It is a very dirty bright yellow phone with a hard wired handset and line cord.

Is there anything special that I need to know about this? Is there anything about the TT pad that I should be aware of? One thing I am curious about is if the TT pad can be cleaned safely.

Thank you much!

Joe
