Its assume the unit works as the rotary dial turns well, creating that nostalgic clicking sound, and the phone apreance, although showing its age, seems not to miss any parts, other than the speaker cover having been taped so that the piece that screws onto the head set, stays together. If you where able to find the damage speaker cover, its certainly a colectable piece of discussion, otherwise, as a nightstand or desktop display of past history, makes it a great addition to any collector.
