I've not seen a rotary dialer since 1983.

[ukaviator]

Is that yours Fred?

[letsdothis]

You know you are old when you have just remembered you had a dialler like that on a horrible green or cream phone.

 

The one with the bells or even the trim phone type.

[ukaviator]

I know, and your mum used to padlock the dial to stop me phoning the girlfriend all the time ..

And the remote control for the top loader VCR was on a wire about 6 foot long.

 

I always used to tap the receiver bit, like morse code for free calls.

I used to hear the neighbours phone calls on ours. . . nothing really interesting though. .

A party line eh?

 

Good old BT - That was when they cared about their customers. And Busby used to speak to you when you dialled 100. He never sounded like a guy who was bored and had spoken to kids about 3000 times that day in a high pitched voice.

ahh the good old days of british telecom, or before that post office telephones

 

I have the good old ringtone recorded from a BT 706 telephone , REAL bells , stand out above any of these silly modern ringtones

 

now if you really want some fun get one of these below, I made one from a bluetooth headset before you could buy these handsets ( its only the inside of bluetooth headset that is inside it) all you really do is extend the mike and the earpiece and extend the buttons from the headset to the side of the telephone handset , you want to see peoples face's when you hand them the handset and tell them "its for you"

 

Exclusive: ThinkGeek Bluetooth Retro Handset

I used to use a red one of them for cueing up records as a DJ, years ago.

[kiptower]

Yep built a few of them for dj's just change the mouthpiece / earpiece for better quality ones, better cord and 4 contact 1/4 " jack plug etc

[texanbar]

Love it
