REMARK TO RESTORATION:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The » 2554 BMP «  has the same keyboard as the  "Red Telephone" ...

If you got a  touch tone telephone  and all is working well ( bell,
communication )  except the KEYBOARD doesn't react,  than TRY THIS:
The keyboard is  sensitive to the polarity  of the incomming wires. 
Exchange the wires ( RED, GREEN ) either in the  outlet, or in the
telephone, or use a  "crossed" cable  between telephone & outlet...

The LETTERS ON THE DIALER are for  MEMORIZING TELEPHONE NUMBERS ...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
      1             4 = G H I     7 = P R S     0 = Operator
      2 = A B C     5 = J K L     8 = T U V
      3 = D E F     6 = M N O     9 = W X Y
-------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE: Dial  A-T-L-A-N-T-I-S  =  28526847  ==>>  »ATLANTIS« Hotel
