Hi,
Searching for rotary phones in Singapore, I found this one, rotary, but with asterisk and numeral...
Claudio
Those are modern creations, I've had two of them, not really well made and not pleasant to use... :-\
The ProTelX one:

These have been discussed before. Not something a collector would be interested in. notice the blatant mis spelling of Operator as Rotarepo..... backwards.
These will appeal to someone who wants a phone that looks like an old rotary phone, but don't know any difference.
Ah, the infamous ROTAREPO phone! :D
Other than for its curiosity value, I'd have very little interest in one, and even then only if I could get it really cheap. There's a thread on here somewhere, I think, where someone got a hold of one and gave it the full treatment.
I've seen those and wondered if they sent out tones or pulses when dialed. Does anyone know? In any case, it is a bit odd to see * & # on a rotary phone.
