I think I have settled on this: an "FM radio". She listens almost exclusively to Classic FM so doesn't really have much reason to touch the dial. But I think she would get a real kick out of adjusting the channel to "tune in" to her friends and family. Some other ideas in case people are also looking for other ideas: - A "safe" dial (when she bought her house they found an old antique safe under the stairs which became a source of some mystery until it was cracked open (it was empty)) - A numeric keypad (my mum used to use this a lot when she worked as a translator and had to memorise the unicode for all the French characters) - Just a simple box with a big rotary dial knob on the front - can't really think of a good story for this though.
