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,


Hello again, everyone and many thanks to all the timely responses from
Jeff L. and others. Just one additional comment: When that plastic hook
switch part breaks the phone will be permanently off-hook even with the
handset parked in the cradle. Also, while many usenet groups have
become silent, s.e.r is most certainly a notable exception! VTY,
