Meet Me on My Rotary Phone.

We suspect kids today [and some adults] are confused about phone terminology. In today’s world, “hanging up” and “dialing,” for example, are abstract words without the physical reference that older people remember. But some people have a soft spot for the old rotary dial phones, including [Stavros], who wired a rotary phone to his computer for use on online meetings.

Anyone interested in #ReverseEngineering a pointlessly #NDA'd "bus" system that makes it harder for no valid reason to resurrect some otherwise still functional #SATCOM gear?

Ya podemos decir que la ruleta de la moda dió la vuelta entera y regresó al inicio… jajajajajaja

El “nuevo” auricular para hacer llamadas en el aifon… 🤣

Y no es broma, si es un producto real, vendido por los de #NativeUnion #Retro #Telephone #Handset

Any suggestions for waterproof #PMR #handset|s? The #Motorola #Talkabout #T92 looks decent and even swims, but ~€50 is steep when any random #Retevis does the same thing modulo being waterproof for ~€10.

Seems I really need waterproofing as this kind of holiday has us wet to the underwear somewhat regularly. Fun hikes, but still, I want the communication to work reliably.

The two issues of Desmond Jeffery’s Red Paper are now on @internetarchive. He devised, set and printed them in July and October of 1968 (a year when a lot was happening). Some of his earlier work is also up, and I shall be adding more.

Does your #telephone #handset smell of old feet for some reason?

Stop sniffing it like a weirdo, and install a “Phonair” telephone freshener!

This little silver puck clips on to the mouthpiece of your GPO telephone and makes it smell lemon fresh for up to 3 months!

Also available in rose and “original” flavour.

(Not suitable for trimphones)

Uk Pat No 1157643, issued circa 1965
