Another popular rotary phone was the Ericsson LM, which was featured in an earlier post.

Singapore Telecom Vintage Flat Rotary Phones

This is another post on the Singapore Telecom Vintage Flat Rotary Phones. Below is a snapshot of 4 phones of different colours and makes of the same model. I have also learnt that back in the 1970s, the cost of installation of a phone like this would set a family back by 120 dollars, which was not a small amount back then.

In 1970s, the phone cable heads were also different, with a metallic 5 pin as shown below. In order for these vintage phones to work, the phone cable heads have to be changed to the modern ones.
