IBM 4459 PC/AT Tempest

[Chuck(G)]

Just looked at the phone, ITT push-button from the 70's/80's, it is just a phone , doesn't plug-in to the computer but has a couple "not-secure" markings.

Not sure what other pics with the phone? Gotta put the beast back together to get any more assembled pics...

Looks like the same ITT clone of the AT&T 2500 series set sitting on my desk. Still in use (but then, I have rotary-dial phones still in use). Pretty much indestructible.

Indestructable is the word, when growing up we had the same wall rotary and table rotary for the 19 years I was at home. It was far more common to have the phone guy working on the wires on the pole than have the phone give you trouble.
