The tones, all in hertz (Hz) are: top row, 697, 2nd row, 770; 3rd row, 852; bottom row, 941; left column, 1209; middle column, 1336; right column, 1477. There was a 4th column, 1633, whose buttons were labeled A, B, C, and D. The US Department of Defense used that column for their defunct Autovon system, to give some calls priority; now only linemens' "butt sets" use it for various service functions.

I got good at dialing pulse by clicking the hangup dukicky. I never knew those clunky Stroger switches were doing that somewhere across town.
Awesome video!
