It features a rotary dial, multiple extension buttons, and a hold function—ideal for office or switchboard use. The phone includes a heavy-duty receiver, original cords, and a KS-16689 L4 modular connector (commonly used for multi-line systems). Constructed from black Bakelite or heavy plastic, it’s built for durability and industrial use. It’s untested and missing the finger stop, but is in good physical condition with visible age wear.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nEra:\r\n1960s–1970s\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nStyle:\r\nMid-Century Industrial \/ Office Communications\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nTechnique:\r\nRotary pulse-dial mechanism, multi-line hard-wired interface, molded Bakelite or ABS shell\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nTools Used:\r\nRotary switch assembly, modular line interface (KS-16689 L4), mechanical buttons and switches\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nHistory:\r\nUsed in businesses and government offices; part of the Bell System infrastructure before AT\u0026amp;T’s breakup in the 1980s\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nManufacturer:\r\nWestern Electric for Bell System\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nModel Number \/ Code:\r\nKS-16689 L4 (visible on connector)\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nDimensions:\r\n9\" W x 9\" D x 6\" T\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nSuggested Weight:\r\n5–6 lbs\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nSuggested Shipping Package Dimension:\r\n14\" W x 14\" D x 10\" T\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Number\u003c\/b\u003e : P16036\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Category \u003c\/b\u003e : Misc Home Décor \u0026amp; Furniture\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Brand \u003c\/b\u003e : Western Electric for Bell System\u003c\/p\u003e\n        ","brand":"Western Electric for Bell System","offers":[{"title":"Used \/ 9\" W x 9\" D x 6\" T \/ Black","offer_id":44136240087220,"sku":"C1053P16036-V1","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9512\/4916\/files\/1769787078-60.jpeg?v=1769795052","url":"https:\/\/www.rbxhub.com\/products\/vintage-western-electric-bell-system-multi-line-rotary-telephone-model-ks-16689-l4","provider":"Rebuilders Xchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
