I saw that on eBay, I was pretty tempted, but I have one like that, I think they were used in police offices and would be connected to phono's that would record the calls on to records. Though I'm not sure exactly.

From what I have read on these thing, its from an old dictograph setup. it attached to a voice recorder of that time. they just took an old 302, gutted it and replaced the dial with this pushbutton pad. There was no inside photos of this unit, so I won't know what all it has in it until I get it. the only thing I can think is that it could have been used with a 1A KTS system for an intercom setup. since I have extra 302 parts, I'm going to replace the base with a cleaner one and try to wire this unit to work.  will post pictures when I get the phone next week.

Okay, that's it for June. Gilas' has cleaned up this month. A Mediterranean Blue 500 with gray cords is hard to beat! WesternElectricBen gave it a good shot but landed in second place this month though I am sure he is going to be busy fo awhile with that load of phones from the phone show.

Thanks to everyone for submitting your finds and thanks to everyone who voted.
