I've never removed the dial in this phone since I got it, so when I pulled it apart to service the thing, I was surprised to find that the dial is made of a clear plastic, so, just out of a little boredom, I took an LED light I have and stuck it behind the dial with the number plate removed, illuminating the clear parts showing the dial's mechanics in action... :D

If I had a number plate similar to the tritium-backlit Trimphone plate, I could have an illuminated dial, but, I'm not that fussed about doing such a modification... :)

And before the phone is entered into the Ugly Phones thread, I have undone my work restoring the phone to it's original state (well, before the dial servicing, cos it's not original inside after being converted for BT plug & socket use)... ;D

Nah, the backlighting thing was just a temporary play around, the number plate is back in place, so no need to count the holes... :D
