Today I found this salmon-colored Ericsson wall phone lying on the ground between two recycling containers for plastic and paper. Someone had put it there and obviously had no idea that others would look for it and pay for it. The device must have been lying there in the rain for hours. I will let it dry out for a few weeks until the transformer and windings are really dry. I don't want to take any chances. The case is in very good condition. Even the mounting plate is included and the dial turns normally.

The Ericsson Dialog desk phone has the same handset, the same dial and the same spiral cable. Unfortunately the number plate is missing, but it can be easily made up to cover the ugly screw.

Unfortunately, I didn't find out much about this phone on the web. I have not been able to find any images of this model either. Does anyone know this model and know more about it?

I only know that it was common in Sweden in the 1970s and 1980s.
