Working Western Electric Rubber Installer/Repairman’s Phone - Small Pencil Dial

Description

Working Western Electric Rubber Telephone Installer/Repairman’s Phone - Small Pencil Dial This is a telephone installer & repairman’s rubber test set frequently called a butt set because it was carried on their belt and hung around their butt. There is a metal clip attached to the back of the handset which will clip to a hook on the repairman or installers tool belt. This hook is large enough to clip over a regular person’s belt. This unit has the alligator clips used by outside telephone technicians to connect to the wide variety of connections they might find. The set has been tested and works well. The switch on the handle allows you to listen on the line before operating it to get dial tone. In the “MON” -monitor- position the Installer/Repairman can listen on the line to be sure someone is not using their phone. If quite the switch can be moved to the “TALK” position to get dial tone and make an outgoing call. After dial tone is on the line the installer operates the dial to make an outgoing call. The dial is called a pencil dial because it was designed to operate using the point of a pencil or pen, turning the dial face from the number desired to the finger stop. If you do not have a pencil or pen there are also small spikes on the dial face by each number that can be used to dial with your finger. The handset is 8 ½” long. The cords are in good shape. This is very valuable tool for testing phone service and trouble shooting an existing telephone. This unit operates just like any telephone other than it does not have bells to ring on incoming call. It will answer incoming calls and make outgoing calls on analog lines and with an inexpensive converter it can make outgoing calls on digital lines. If you have questions please contact me.
