TV Show - Legacy Phone in Scene

On "7th Heaven" of 10/17/05, a traditional black 500 set rotary phone
was used to help set the scene of a dumpy situation. The phone was
next to a bottle of liquor. A person was sleeping and when the phone
rang he pulled the pillow over his head to ignore it.

The ringing sound for the phone was like a Trimline, which has a
single gong ringer (a bit more pleasant sounding than the dual gong
ringer of a regular phone set.)

For many years, on TV the ringer sound for a telephone often did not
match the telephone set shown. In earlier years a 300 set or separate
bell box ringer would be used for a 500 set. In later years, a modern
phone with an electronic ringer would still sound like a mechanical
bell and vice versa.
