Some of my old phones....

A brief smattering of Western Electric, Automatic Electric and foreign phones I have in my collection. The first one you see in the video is my WE spacesaver, and it's attached to my computer desk.

Quick note--I'm tongue-tied throughout this video, can't speak worth a damn. Part of it's because I'm sick with an ear infection, and it's affected my mind. Please bear with my babbling.... :-)

[sassyface1943ho]

what is the old phone number on your WE spacesaver,

[batterymaker]

@sassyface1943ho Probably had my old number, under the old exchange system, which would have been VIctor 6-4824.

at 5:39 is that a heli crafters shortwave radio

[batterymaker]

Yes, though I can't remember the model number. It's the next generation radio after the S-53.

I enjoy old pay phones.

And I'd like to have a phone booth too.

Do you have a switchboard?

[batterymaker]

I knew I was forgetting something. Forgot to do video of my ugly beige three-slot payphone! Oh, well, some other time.

No, I don't have a switchboard--if I did, I'd be in the doghouse. And we don't have a doghouse....:-)

Would you ever consider selling the candlestick phone. I have wanted one for as long as I could remember and never found a good one to buy.

Can you do a video of your 3 slot? I really wan't to see it!!!

I think it is like a party line phone you would have to revers the wires.

Maybe,
