I Remember Rotary Dial Telephones

And I even remember before that when you had to get through to the exchange and get a number. How times change!

I have a functioning rotary phone, and my local telecom still handles pulse dialing. I picked up a disassembled rotary phone a couple of years ago and rebuilt it just for the fun of it, and when I plugged it in, everything worked including the dialing. My kids and their friends thought it was great, because none of them had ever used a rotary dial. They kept taking turns calling each other’s cell phones from my rotary. If you want some entertainment, watch a bunch of millennials trying to work a rotary dial.
