Telephone location

[timetraveler]

I was watching the Changeling today. Elizabeth
goes upstairs to call the radio station when the
radio doesn't work, She comes back down and
tells everyone she forgets the #. I thought
they kept the telephone downstairs on the
shelf by the desk. Can someone explain this to me?

I thought that she went upstairs for something else like a tool or to try tuning another radio, although I don't remember another radio until Mary Ellen gets married.

Elizabeth did go upstairs ~ to tune in the station but she came back down because she forgot channel number for it. Mary Ellen was already married to Curt during The Changeling.

Thank-you Rhonda! I thought it was the telephone # that she forgets.
