Found this rotary phone at a yard sale with no cord. Just found a yellow cord for it.

    Haha I have the same phone in my closet. From back in the day when we had to remember everyone’s number!πŸ˜…

  • @altaflyer7471 says:

    No disrespect but I believe the bugs went in the other side of the phone so they can hear both sides of the conversation

  • @altaflyer7471 says:

    The plastic explosive charge went in that end

    πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ It’s my 80’s childhood nightmare! I got my finger stuck in the rotary phone at school once, it cut me up pretty good! They had to break it to get me out! The ordeal took about an hourπŸ€ͺπŸ™ƒ just little me, stuck in the main office! πŸ˜‚ I was a very accident prone child!🫠 But that poor old thing πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ€’ I kinda wanna swab it πŸ˜‚ all it has left to offer this world is bacteria! 🀭🀣
    We are sending the House of VanDuzee the warmest wishes for a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! MUSH LOVE πŸ„πŸ’š

    That antique from my youth. Our house doesn’t even have a plug for that to plug into anymore. Lol

    I spent hours talking to a girlfriend. Driving up the evening long distance calls. Or and many don’t know this. There was a chat line too. You dialed the number and you could talked to all kinds of people. Ofcoarse, the ones living closer to your house you could hear better. But I remember talking to other kids from all over the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin
    And people from Chicago. But they were really faint, when compared to those who lived closer to you.
