Several years ago I tried to find a replacement battery for the unit.
I didn't have a book. I gave up after 20 calls across 3 days. Later
I was given 2 more. One had a good battery. I disassembled the bad
battery (with a saw blade in a dremel moto-tool). Replacement cells
can be had from Alexander Battery Co. Unfortunately the pack no
longer fits in the pocket in the bottom of the phone, but there are
enough unused pairs in the cable....
% Can we start a TELECOM Archive file on ATT_800_#s_to_nowhere?
Maybe Patrick can sell it to AT&T phone store counter clerks? Or
supply it to 800- information?
% Anybody got any directory sheets?
I have three of those phones. Not only do I need sheets, but two
legitimate memory backup batteries (10v, center tapped! i.e. +5v and
-5v), and a couple of housing parts (top cover, bottom plate, etc). I
once saw a 9-line version of the Touch-a-matic, with a 16-button
Autovon pad. Now that would be unusual to have in your house!

Try calling 800 Directory and asking for 'AT&T Mail'... they will give
you some strange number in New Jersey which is answered 'hello', and
after you explain that you are trying to reach AT&T Mail Customer Service
they will (maybe) transfer you correctly to some other number. Try 201
Directory; they've never heard of AT&T Mail either, and finally they will
give you the Corporate switchboard and let her try to figure it out. PT]lenj@cwjcc.ins.cwru.edu (Leonard A. Jaffe) (03/05/90)

PT] I read the above a day before I was put in charge of gettting info about AT&T Mail. I contacted a person who I figured would know and he gave me the name and number of his contact: Jim Kwock (201) 658-2122 I spoke to a very nice lady who I assume was Mr. Kwock's receptionist and she said that she would send me the literature that I desired. So thanx for the tip, it sounds like you saved me a lot of cross country phone calls, and aggravation. ============================================================== Leonard A.
