Interesting... according to wikipedia, those were still made as recently as
1985, even though the push-button version came out only a year after the
rotary (1966 vs. 1965).
Goes with the territory, I suppose :) I picked up
a nice little desktop
Stromberg-Carlson the other day which has a smaller-than-usual rotary dial
mounted in the handset itself (I've only ever seen rotaries in the base
portion of desktops before; I'd always assumed that manufacturers only put
the dialing in the handset once they'd gone to buttons/DTMF, which took up
less space)
Even the "Trimline" was available rotary dial.
