Rotary Telephone wont return to the start position
 
My rotary telephone dial wont return to the start position, when I dial.
I'm guessing that either the spring is getting weak, or else it needs
lubrication. For example, if I dial a "9", it might only return to the
number "3". I have to push it back to the start position by hand. Can
these be lubricated? How and where?

Please email me, or phone me at Hillside4-7078.

Problem is, when he tries to dial W, the rotary only returns to E.

What is a rotary phone? Suppose you keep the telephone dial still
and just let the rest of the phone rotate. What happens then g ?

Patient: Doc, my arm hurts when I do this.
Doc: If you don't know what goes here, you're more clueless than
every asshole that's ever been on the Internet.

Last time I tried, I was able to place a call using finger taping on hook.
Have not tried it on my new comcast phone modem. I have an old TT wall
phone in kitchen.
