OK i know it isn't rotary but.

I found a Telstar (touch tone) in almost perfect condition (except being dirty) for free. Worked perfectly fine but had some dirt and other disgusting sludge on it that had to be cleaned off, so I completely disassembled it, washed all the housing parts, polished the plastic, and reassembled it and it looks fantastic now!

These things are worth quite a lot it turns out, so I am gonna hang on to it and keep it safe.
The digital PSTN is so boring now. I wish I could have experienced what it was like to use the Bell System with all its analog wonders.

Well, at least we have museums. Right?

Great find -- and you can't beat the price!

Getting one without broken feet, a good handset cord and cracks in the plastic top is becoming increasingly difficult.

Congratulations.

Nice !   I found the clear plastic attracts dust so I keep mine in my display case.
