The telephone came with broken cradle, broken white number layer,
broken ground-key, broken cables, missing screws inside and damaged
dial-center. Inside on the bottom was the WIRE DIAGRAM glued ...
... 1st TEST of its ELECTRO-MECHANICS resulted in: "It works !!!"

... "THANKS!" to my friend GERHARD GOTTSMANN, BERLIN, a Model-Railway/
Train-Sets COLLECTOR - and gifted (!) RESTORATOR - made this missing
LOGO BADGE out of brass-sheet. He used old technology of making print-
circuit-boards in photo-lithography: WOW!
