I have an older AT&T Touch-a-matic phone (1980's) that I'd like to have repaired. Every function of the phone is working, except for the dial tone. I have checked all of the connections with new cords. everything checks out ok. How can I fix the problem, or where can I send the phone to have it fixed?

Robert, I suspect that there's not much call for the repair of 'phones as old as yours - not much money to be made from it so nobody considers it a worthwhile business to follow particularly with the low cost of a new 'phone.

Invest in a new instrument while you search for a similar second-hand model is my advice.

Good luck...
