This made me think of JKL.

It is a touchpad for dialing 555-5555 numbers.

Ha! Looks like someone had many key pads, and some extra time on their hands.
That's wild, a bit confusing to some users though.
Those H dials were in AT&T sets, but $20.00?
That's a reach,

I'm sure someone in the past on here said that these dials were made for payphones with the metal buttons sat over the top of the regular buttons, so what buttons they put into the pads didn't matter as they were covered, or something along those lines...

I didn't realize that.
I was wondering if some collector created 12 different custom touchpads for there own entertainment. I know guys who would consider it.

I had heard that, but I don't think they would have used that type of dial. I heard it was on 70 series payphone dials..
Well who knows, I'm not going to spend twenty bucks on something as dumb as that.
But hey, stranger things have happened..
