The VEF TA-68, the desk phone in almost every Soviet flat through the 70s and 80s, rebuilt in ivory from photos of real ones taken from every side (turn your sound on). Tap the handset to lift it, and the dial tone comes on. Put a finger in a hole, draw the wheel round to the metal stop and let go: it runs home by itself, clicking out the number - or just tap a hole. Dial 100 for the speaking clock, which reads the time in Russian (or gives the six pips, if your device has no Russian voice); other six-digit numbers ring out unanswered or are engaged. Tap the handset again to hang up. Keys: Space or Enter lifts and hangs up, number keys dial. The wheel runs home at ten clicks a second, one click for each unit - two for 2, ten for 0 - and those clicks are all the exchange ever heard.
