Not seen one quite like this before.
Opinions please, particularly on that base and dial.

I commented on this on FB but as is typical of FB, I can't find it.

It started life as a WE dispatcher's telephone. Most of the headset is missing and a plinth has been added to the base. I assume parts have been added in the base so the phone works. It's also been brassed out and an Ericsson dial has been added.

Would you mind popping the link for the FB page here (or message it to me if you prefer). I don't do FB and searches never seem to throw up the pages others talk of.

Thanks for the reply.

Sometimes I think it is a waste of time making comments on FB. After a day or so, they are basically lost.

This time, I found it. - https://www.facebook.com/groups/67027269921/permalink/10160478703934922/

It is the ATCA group.

Thanks so much for taking the time to find it, still none the wiser as unfortunately the 'about' tab says members only, so guess one has to join Facebook and then wait for approval after asking to join the group.

(the 'discussion' tab is broken too)
FB has never tempted me in.

There is useful telephone stuff on FB but in this case, you wouldn't be much wiser anyway.

True. Short of the seller opening it up of course.

Just was interested to look and learn in general. As per.

Thanks for trying.
