[VoIP] Just bought a Western Electric 202

[Ian Jolly]

So now I know who's looking at my sales items!

However the Bellset 41 on the UK wasn't used with normal auto telephones - 
it was designed for use on two party 'shared service' lines before the 
advent of the 'Thermistor 1A1' . It was used with the British Post Office's 
Telephone No 310  - quite a rare telephone! I've managed to get one 
(together with a brand new Bellset 41 still sealed in its box!) which now 
resides on +44 (0)352 85 30 on CNET!
