Hi Folks,
A pic of something I've been working on and off for the past 6 weeks. An old style rotary phone, Western Electric, ca. 1937. I recalled having a broken one of these as a child, and would take it apart and reassemble it often. Don't make 'em like they used to.
I got started on it when I heard a fellow on the radio who was talking about differences between generations. He told his kids, "My mother used to say 'You have such a bad sense of direction that you'd get lost in a phone booth.'" One of his kids looked blankly at him and asked "What's a phone booth?" He went on to say "It is a place where you sit down and rent a phone for a few minutes in private." Then his kids were really perplexed.
