18 of them. That's a cool list - I also remember rotary phones, and we only had to dial 4 numbers for a local call. Also Rabbit ears on TVs and rooftop antennas..

@fun4us2b Right. Sometimes you had to rotate the rooftop antennas to get good reception. My grandparents had an attachment on their chimney that did that.

@exexec We did too - it was a Rotor, and we had a box in the house that my Dad would use to adjust the antenna to point in different directions for better reception
