Welcome to the forum, Al!

I was at 6 phones once too. I put them in a room together and soon I had more. They're prolific little devils.

Welcome, I'm a newbie here as well. I started out slow in the beginning, I now have close to 100 phones in my garage and a 1953 phone booth. Along with numerous other things, but that's a whole new story.

Hi Al! Welcome! you have found the best forum on the net! There is much knowledge and experience here and people who are willing to share & help anytime. A warning about Phoneitis, it is a progressive and incurable disease, as has already been attested to. Your 6 phones will continue to proliferate. Soon you will be looking for more space to put them. Enjoy the madness!
