Remember the day?
Stick your finger in the dial, wind her back and let go ... the sweet whirring sound of the dial returning and hopefully, you are eventually connected to the called party....quite often a 3rd party as well due to the system being prone to 'crosstalk' from switching or cabling faults .... ahhhh those were the good old days!
I used to gather together all sorts of telephone subscriber and exchange related equipment and components from NZ (my younger days) and Australia. Slowly I have found new owners for some of the "special" complete equipment (Railway comms, Manual phones, bakelite, SXS switches and a whole range of the "plastic jobbies".
These rotary dial components are from the latter equipment, specifically an 802 dial ...
TELECOM/PMG - 802 Series Rotary Telephone Dial Plastic Components ONLY
NO metalwork of any kind or the dial mechanism etc is offered ... I am offering just these plastic components used in the 802 dial mechanism, the most often damaged components resulting from constant subscriber use are the finger stop and finger ring.
Here are the EXACT components offered in this advertisement - nothing more ...
a) White Dial Plate (with the Black numbers) for Australian telephone network use
NOTE: no good for NZ users as they used a reverse numbering system e.g where the digit 1 is in the position of the 9 on an Australian dial
b) Clear plastic finger ring (the ring sitting above the dial plate with the 10 finger holes
c) White rubber gasket that completely surrounds the dial plate
d) Finger stop (Clear plastic 'hook' that provides a stop point when the subscriber is rotating the dial clockwise, before release) - these OFTEN get broken
e) Rear dial mechanism dust cover (opaque white plastic)
That is it - nothing more, nothing less but handy to have around if your world is the restoration of old telephonic technology, specifically subscriber instruments.
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
CLEAN
All components are undamaged in all ways ...
NO cracks or stress marks
NO marks or scratches
I have now separately packed and then placed all components into a sealed clear plastic packet, ready to bring new life to an 802 model subscriber telephone instrument.
