The Model 500 and it's sister wall phone, the 554, were the most popular telephone set ever designed, and they remained in production for 35 years without essential change. Colored sets became available in 1953, and through the years the colours were changed to reflect present trends and styles. The 500\/554 series telephones also sported the \"G\" series handset, the first handset that could comfortably be rested on your shoulder. These phones also had a user adjustable ringer that allowed the telephone subscriber to adjust the ringing level to the environment where the phone was located. In the early 1960s the design was adapted to the new \"touch-tone\" technology with the introduction of the 2500 desk phone and the 2554 wall phone. Manufacturing licenses of the \"2500\/2554\" designs were granted to a number of other companies as well, so it is not uncommon to see similar models under non-Western Electric branding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Restoration Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTouch Pad\u003c\/strong\u003e - This is a brand new modern touch pad\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCords\u003c\/strong\u003e – The phone has been outfitted with brand new vinyl cords and the line cord has a modular connection to facilitate a modern connection to your wall jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShell\u003c\/strong\u003e – The shell has been painstakingly put through a multi-step restoration process which includes sanding with 400, 800, 1000, 2000 grit.
