The telephone base assembly comprises a telephone housing having a base member, first and second printed circuit boards, and a weight having first and second parts. The base assembly is provided by locating and supporting the first part of the weight and the first circuit board upon the base member with the first circuit board overlying the first part of the weight in a space defined between the first and second parts of the weight; retaining the first circuit board upon the base member by latch means whereby the first part of the weight is removably retained upon the base member; and positioning the second circuit board on a support surface provided by a second part of the weight, so that the second circuit board is supported by the weight. Thus the weight has a first part supported by the base member, and the first printed circuit board is also supported by the base member and overlies the first part of the weight; the weight also has a second part extending upwardly from, supported by and spaced from the first part of the weight and overlying at least part of the first printed circuit board, and the second part supports the second printed circuit board. Preferably the second circuit boards forms part of a keypad assembly and the housing also comprises a cover applied over the keypad assembly and secured to the base member with buttons of the keypad assembly operable through the housing. The cover engages the keypad assembly and is cooperable with the support surface of the weight to hold the keypad assembly immovably within the housing of the telephone base assembly.
