History of 746 Series Telephones

The model 746 Telephone was first introduced into service in 1967. This was an improved version of the previous 706 model. The 746 case had an integral handle which removes the need for a separate handle (as used on the 706’s). The case styling was slightly different from the 706 although it retained the same overall look and feel. The same colour options were available that had become popular with the 706 range, although Brown was added later. The 746 was later produced with the new style plug type lead (PST) and renumbered, it was then known as model 8746. This telephone was also converted to high impedance bells to work reliably on the new system of wiring introduced by BT in 1979.

These 746 telephones were available in 8 colours:
Black
Ivory (cream)
Lacquer Red
Concorde Blue (grey/blue)
Topaz Yellow
Two-tone Green
Two-tone Grey
Brown
