What model/part?

[jruta]

Hi. I’d like to find one of these, NOS of possible. Anyone know what it’s called?

Thanks

 

[jruta]

It probably should have been posted in the want section, i just don’t know what it’s called

 

[jruta]

Never mind. The photo is too big. It’s a analog rotary phone dial

Windows Paint has a Resize command under Image.

50% horiz. by 50% vert. will tame that filesize quickly.

Thank you- I’m using an iPhone so I have to figure it out lol

IIRC, you can(used to) resize an iPhone image by emailing it to yourself and (I believe) you can resample/resize the image from the stock software.

I am sure there are paid apps out there for it, but Apple doesn't (didn't) allow you to do that natively. Android phones can. I only casually use iOS, maybe someone out there can definitively tell us if what used to work, still does.

[edit] not gonna lie, i'm more than a little interested in what you're looking for.

That figures. It’s just my luck lol. Any idea what it’s actually called? Thanks

Probably a 2600Hz dialer for an old mobile phone system.

Thanks, I thought it was possibly from an old car phone/medical system radio. I wasn’t sure

The rotary dialers were common on the early generation of ambulance-to-hospital radios in the 1970s. Rotary was quickly replaced with DTMF units which could be installed on most mobile radios of the period and remains in extensive use in many parts of the US today.

Upon further inspection, I was incorrect. This one looks like an IMTS dial:

Had a couple of these decades back. The dialer is just an old Bell Systems device.
Used in control heads for the old IMTS phone system. Just these boxes had different applications.
In dispatch consoles they could encode the early selective calling or used for station remote radio control.
All they are worth today is collector or conversation piece.
Have a use for 1 to 9 timed switch contact closure, they still work flawlessly.
