While cleaning out junk from unused rooms at the church, I found a box that contained (among other things) a 5-line ITT telephone (model 564 vintage 1976 or so)

About the only physical problem I can see is that the plastic finger wheel is not secured very well. The dial turns, but it is prone to sliding.

I'm guessing that there is a retaining clip of some sort under the paper "desi" in the center of the dial, but how do I get at it?

I tried sticking a pin in the hole towards the center of the dial, but I think that might be used to release the dial from the spring underneath.

Turn the dial all the way 0 to stop put a paper clip in the hole depress and turn dial a little more cw and lift it off. There will be a nut under there that is probably loose.

Edit: to correct a few errors.

If you find that the finger wheel itself is damaged, let me know. I have hundreds of them.

Ed -

Did you corner the market? Are you patiently waiting for the return of Rotary?

Nah, we used to do a lot of government work and stocked up on maintenance parts.

That might be the case (damaged finger wheel), Once I can get look underneath, I'll post my findings.

Since we haven't had the Stromberg 1A2 for a few years, the phone will become more of a trophy.

I had some Stromberg Rotary sets (on a government job, of course) where the dial spring would loosen up. We would remove the dial, unhook the wire, pull it tight with a pair of long nose, hook it back up and clip the excess with diagonals.

Now when the dials on my AT&T 85XX sets go, I have to throw the whole set out.

Sad.

I managed to get the plastic dial off, but it required some prying. No matter how far I pushed the retaining clip down and turned, the dial would not release.

Once I got it off, I used a 1/4" socket to tighten the center bolt, bent the retaining clip back into shape as best I could and pushed the dial back on.

The dial is very slightly off index, but given that the phone will probably never be used again, it really doesn't look all that bad and the dial now spins quite nicely. smile
