My 10 1/2 year old son asked to try one of the working phones. I said go ahead, and then realized as he tried to dial, he had no idea how to dial a rotary phone. It was really shocking in a way, never really thought about him not having a chance to use a rotary phone. P.S. My 10 1/2 year old son asked to try one of the working phones.

I actually asked for this phone - it had been thrown out when the great grandparents were swayed by new technology in the mid nineties. This phone is a black bakelite they recieved in 1931. It was used until, like i said, the nineties. The rest, as they say, is history. Unfortnately, i am having a hard time finding someone to repair/clean the phones i have, so i have decided to try it myself. It seems fun. In a weird non active way. LOL. i also have a Fantan hotel phone from Brooklyn NY. It is so cool. So following the directions on here, i am giving self help a shot.
