Australian Post Office
Telephone No. 807

Also known as the 'Touchtone 12' Mark 4.

Produced between 1984 and 1986.

Pulse signalling, 1984 - 1986. Still with a metal base, electronic ringer and volume control.  In 1985 they became the standard (no extra cost) Telecom phone, finally replacing the 800 dial phones.

Line cords were now a teak colour on all models and all now had white keys.  The new pastel colour range was Musk (pink-brown), Golden Haze, Cinnamon. Sage Green, and Fleece White, all of which seemed equally popular with customers.  The standard 6-connector wall plug stayed until January 1985, then changed to a 4-connector plug (slightly smaller).  They were now fitted with flat cords.  In what was seen by staff as a major policy change, Grey was finally dropped.  It wasn't missed by staff or customers.

The white nylon switchhooks were changed to a beige colour in January 1985.  In May 1985 the transmitter insert was upgraded to a new model.  The receiver remained the Type 4T which was introduced in the 400 series. The receiver cap had a single circle of holes.

Some are made by STC.

There is a control for ringer volume on the base.

There is no recall button on this telephone.

Available in the following colours: Musk (pink-brown), Golden Haze, Cinnamon. Sage Green, and Fleece White
