It's cool and all, but why is there a TOUCH-TONE (tm) telephone on the table? It ruins the effect!

A rotary dial phone would be much more appropriate.

Have fun.

That is really cool! I'd love to build something like that using relays.

Do you reckon you could build a simple graphics card using relays and output something on an oscilloscope trace?
