Hello, all, especially those with familiarity with subject. I've got a
decades-old Stromberg-Carlson SC-2554 wall mount phone. It's still in great
shape except recently a small white piece of plastic on the make/break hook
switch broke rendering the rest of the cradle mechanism inoperative. The
plastic piece finally broke from the tension from the return spring. It's a
clean break but I'm afraid that even if I can glue the pieces back together it
will most likely fail again in short order. Thanks for your time and your
comment is most appreciated. Sincerely,

Your description is vague.

Is the plastic piece part of the housing? Or, a mechanical actuator that
conveys the hookswitch's state to the actual switch?

Said another way, does the phone *appear* (visually) to be intact -- but,
some INTERNAL mechanism is broken that allows it to FUNCTION as it should?

(Could you, perhaps, post a picture on a hosting site with a link, here?)
