interesting and neat, bI found an even better use of an old rotary phone. Last month, I was given one by an emeritus faculty who was giving up his dept. office.
ReplyDeleteI connected it to my office land line. the ringer is not a simulated/synth bell tone. it uses a clapper to bang on a real bell. makes a lovely sound when i get an incoming call. further, the phone can be used receive voice calls and dial out. perhaps a little slower than using buttons, but still completely functional for that purpose.
I used my rotary phone until 2003 when it finally gave up the ghost. I replaced it with a vintage looking phone from Pottery Barn that had push buttons. Unfortunately it never worked properly.
