Actually, setting up a personal phone system on ones property is relatively easy, and even the old ringer phones can be used. It is tremndous fun, and quite a novelty for guests to call other rooms on old dial and ringer phones 😃

@SmartassX12 жыл бұрын
The main problem is that the hand-cranked generator has magnets that have stopped being magnets due to age. So if you'd want it to be 100% functional, you'll need to get custom-made new magnets for it. That's pretty expensive. (I have a 1920's phone and the magnets are so weak that it's hard to tell that they used to be magnets.)

Très belle restauration d'un Marty 1910 de première génération avec cadre en bois fruitier, laiton chromé et bakélite, plus tard simplifié par l'utilisation de sapin et de tôle peinte en noir dans les années 1940. Mise à part le problème de numérotation et la nécessité d'utiliser une batterie locale (pas de tension de ligne à l'époque) et une sonnette externe, ça devrait pouvoir fonctionner derrière une Bbox avec un petit montage électronique d'interface...

He always worked in the communication bussines and put up a 4-telephone set to connect all the rooms in our small house, in 1988. He was high educated in electronics.

Actually people tend to completely rewire older phones just so they can still be used. For either nostalgia or just want to know how it feels reasons. Its still cool as heck
@stoyantsalev31092 жыл бұрын
The wiring is no problem, it's dialing out mostly. Before VOIP there used to be ISDN (which is digital) and before it there was the analogue POTS - plain old telephone system. POTS isn't really a standard per se, but at least it assumes either pulse or tone dialing. The phone shown here does none of those (you could argue it does the pulse thing, but pulse dialing implies some coding/interpretation of those pulses. This doesn't happen here.) In fact, the way it operates is beautifully displayed in the demo at the very end of the video (thumbs up, @LADB) So you absolutely can talk over it, provided a similar device is on the other end of a direct wire (putting one together is dead simple really) - but you can't really attach it to any current phone network without gutting it out and replacing pretty much everything but the speaker/mic. On a separate note, this is what I miss in this restoration - actual functionality. But it's simply not the goal here and I respect this.
