Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
I remember rotary phones.
My folks have their old rotary phone in the basement. Showed it to my kids and they didn’t believe it was actually a phone.
I've found that at least the models from the late 70s also still work perfectly fine, they use the same plugs as modern phones in my country. Audio quality on them is excellent, too.
Well now I want to try this out.
the western electric 500 and 554 were so ubiquitous that even a mint condition one will sell for around $50 on ebay. they're built so well that it'll probably keep working for another 50-100 years with occasional maintenance
if only landlines were cheap.
