The mechanics on this unit are in excellent shape—the mechanical rotary dial operates smoothly and springs back perfectly with that classic, crisp vintage feedback. The heavy metal base plate features the iconic vertical vent slots and retains all four of its original, genuine triangular leather-wrapped corner feet, which are perfectly intact to safeguard your desktop or side tables from scratching. Complete with a clear rotary wheel and a vintage "Please Wait For Dial Tone" center instruction card. See less
