THE "500" SET, AS THIS STYLE WAS KNOWN, CAME INTO SERVICE IN THE EARLY 1950'S. WHEN TOUCH-TONE WAS INTRODUCED IN THE MID 1960'S, THE SET WAS ADAPTED TO CONTAIN A TOUCH TONE PAD IN PLACE OF THE DIAL. SOME OFTHESE SETS ARE STILL IN USE. THEY HAD IMPROVED TRANSMITTERS & RECEIVERS AND PROVIDED VERY RELIABLE SERVICE.
