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.

They don't contain any semiconductors. Only wire, insulation, plastic or a pre-plastic material, paper, glue, cloth and metal.
