What memories! My grandparents had a 302 phone and I remember it was so much sturdier (and heavier!) than the phone at our house in the 1960’s. Thanks George.
I moved to Ferndale WA in 1982 and they still had party lines! I'd lived in urban California before that and was shocked that such things still existed. Interesting museum.
I almost forgot to mention this for Xeno . Stark’s Vacuum Museum in Portland , Oregon . They’re on google business pages lol . Did they have the first car phones there ? I too remember getting tangled up in the phone cord of the rotary dial phone . I still have it actually . And yes it still works . Fascinating museum . Thanks for the tour .
Wonderful ❤ love this video. I remember as a little kid Mom had to lease the phone. Then when third party phones came along I insisted we needed to buy the Mickey Mouse phone LoL 😂😅
Interesting since I worked as a telephone operator for about 10 years. I still remember my operator number 707. Funny the job I retired from my employee number was 707 too.
My dad got to use one of the crank phones, never mind a rotary. He was in an Edison (as in Thomas Alva) -built power plant and they still had one hooked up and working. The phone rang the plant office. The crazy thing was the 100 year-old technology worked just fine. For anyone who knows the number, my local phone company still has a "correct time/temperature" phone number hooked up. It must be law, or just so cheap it's not worth disabling.
Thanks George

That’s cool! I figured it’s a good subject because it’s a thing we all had

My grandparents had a party line on the farm when I was young. It was weird to us kids.
