Rotary Phone Help

[Luke]

I can receive incoming calls, and the ring it puts out is one hell of a sound. Like a fire alarm it is.

I decided to go the "take it apart, put it back together and hope for the best" route. Rarely does it work for me, and I have no idea what I did to get it to work again, but I'm happy enough with incoming calls.

Maybe a loose connection somewhere inside that got pulled or pushed just right? Great that you got it working. You should be able to dial out off a Touch Tone phone on the same line and use your Rotary to do the marathon conversation. At least until you get a converter or find the cause of no pulse capability.

Just to confirm, maybe try the phone at a friends house or the older neighbor down the street who might still use good old Ma Bell Telephone company. Disappointing that your cable provider, a COX affiliate might not offer Rotary Pulse support. I use COX Cable and hope they never drop this feature.

Will do man, and thanks.

I love the ringer on this phone so much I'm tempted to post a video of it, but who hasn't heard a phone ring?

What is the latest on the phone? Any luck on getting the rotary dial to work?

There are even portable beep boxes that can "dial out" by sending tones into the handset mouth piece. Of course the nostalgia will be turning the dial, but at least for now you should be able to use it.

Found them, a couple things that might be of interest. Not for sale but gives an idea of weird phone gadgets. An earphone amplifier for hearing impaired or a loud party, attaches to the earpiece. A touch dialer that has a speaker and sends tones directly into the rotary mouth piece. Sorry, no mouth piece analog modem, anyone remember them?
