Sorry for going off-topic, as-in this not being a keyboard.
But: I heard that 7bit collects old telephones, so I thought he would maybe find this interesting.

Cheers!

It's not a telephone.
Would be fun if one could it hook up to something

Yes, it's not a telephone. But it was used by the provider back in the day.
To me, it seems like 7bit is interested in every part of the chain.

This is really a nice thing (don't know how it is called in English).


Edit: Telephone exchange.

Thanks, 7bit. That's what they're called.
You can have it for a hall effect board, j/k. :p

Is this a phone thread? If so, I'd like to brag about my 1953 Western Electric 501 (500 with tube) that I got in "uber fine, never before used, all dates matching" condition a couple years ago:

Wow!

I've got some NIB telephones which are quite old, but not one from the 1950s.

I think the only reason it was unused was because it was wired with the tube for "party line", so it didn't work on regular lines. People probably thought it was defective. A simple rewire and it works fine. I've got 4 phones connected in my house and they're all made 1954 and earlier.

My phone has just died.. Any advice for something nice but cheap for my desk?

Dial or keys?

What about this one:
NT (NIB).

Shit! I thoght I was away from telephones.


Why are you doing this with me ...

Would need to be buttons do like that old style just not wife friendly. Need to put mx blues in a phone..

I'm interested in selling/trading this item.
Currently looking for anything with hall effect switches.

I have an oldie, we found at my church, in my garage. I'll nab a picture late. Its by no means NIB, actually quite the opposite, but it works. I think if I recall, its from the '30's. Will check later.

I find it more impressive that you have a church in your garage.

Your sentence is grammatically correct, no commas forgotten. But it does sound funny

He's got a church and to the church belongs a garage ....

Amen.

Yo guys, i got some info on this telephone exchanger:
"Here's the answer I got from someone I asked:
THis is a swedish produced telephone exchanger. made by "det svenske telegrafverket", Most likely for the army, and most likely used in a bunker or by a canon.
Judging by the partsm it was made during 1940-1945.
The text which says Batt.1 and Batt.2 which most likely is canon batteries."

Pheow, good that I didn't trade it away for a single HE board anyways? :p

Since this is the phone thread, how would i go about connection an analog phone nowadays?
And what is a good(and old) phone for starters?

Quick, get Soarer to add a telephone conversion feature to his converter.
