I have an old rotary phone in my kitchen. Partly as a curiosity, partly for nostalgia. It's hooked up to my home phone (it doesn't even have a modular jack, I had to hard wire it in!). I love the way it sounds when it rings.
I also have a 5 GH cordless.... -- Never ask what sort of a computer a guy drives. If he's a Mac user, he'll tell you. If not, why embarrass him? -Tom Clancy
reply to N3OGH My parents kept the old rotary til fairly recently.
I still use my old Conair Trimline (a exact dup of the old trimlines but touch tone) Not a rotary but quite ancient and well made. And has survived many MANY drops to the ground with no ill effects
reply to N3OGH Rotary phone ringers will forever remind me of my grandmas house when I was younger. It was some kind of jarring yet cheerful sound when that phone rang in that country farm house.
I can imagine my granda getting snookered by this fee.
