Default Porsche 928 Telephone!

Well, my mom contacted me a few weeks ago because she was cleaning out the basement. She said, "Oh, I found a telephone of your car!" I was thinking, "ummm.... not likely."

Turns out she was right! It is even white just like my 928, and still in the original box! I think I must have purchased this when I was muuuuch younger, and forgotten about it. Don't have a picture of it, but it is just like this phone, only white.

Just thought I would share some interesting news.

The guy doesn't know what he's talking about.. Rotary still works everywhere. This phone uses "pulse" dialing, which simulates the rotary "click, click, click"..

Scott, I may be interested. How much to ship to Puyallup, WA. 98373. Send me a pic?

I've got a chiffon white and a black (both like the top pic).

I've never seen the painted wheels like what Clint has. Is it the same brand as the black one shown?

Dang it Scott, well at least it went to a good home.

I guess I could call the guy up on one of my 928 phones, have him answer on yours, and enjoy the moment vicariously.
