While I thought at&t's rental rates were silly, I would gladly pay $200 to purchase one of those old phones. They worked. The new ones are garbage.

Yarborough's Antique Mall in Jackson, Tennessee had a bunch of the black 1930 type rotary telephones fitted with a new jack and wires for sale. I bought four of them at $180 each. When lightening struck my home, all the digital phones in the house were fried and the old suckers still were operational.

Send me your email. I got one laying around here somewhere.

My 26 y/o daughter wanted a rotary dial wall phone last year for Christmas for her basement rec room. Found one in virtually perfect shape on ebay for around $30. The sound of the mechanical bell is cool in itself!
