  1. On the healing bench today, a #candlestick #telephone - it’s a UK Post Office “Tele 180” made by Plessey in 1927

    It’s the oldest phone I own!

    It’s a little sorry for itself, with broken wires, paint in the mechanism, a stuck hook switch and slow dial… it’s not in original condition (bits have been overcleaned, or repainted) but I’m not worried about that.

    The first move has been to get it all apart for cleaning!

  2. @ety my shenanigans are mostly on much older kit than your average home lab phone setup (#electromechanical #strowger!)

    My preference for phone kit is “massive, heavy, and maintained with a spanner” 😂

    I just throw a ton of tags at it (usually as many relevant ones as I can fit in the post) #TelephoneExchange #phoneExchange #pbx #vintagePhone are probably my most commonly used.

    I’ve been hanging out with @CuTEL a bit over the last couple of years, so I also have some more modern #voip & #dect

  3. The Nokia 9210 Communicator 📱, launched in 2001, was the first device to run on the Symbian OS 🌟. It famously appeared in the 2002 music video 🎵 Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly Rowland 🎤, where Rowland used its Excel app📊 to send a "message", sparking a lasting meme 😂

  8. Mein Vater hat mir allen Ernstes dieses Handy mitgegeben. Weil die Kinder ja irgendwann eins brauchen werden 😳

    Der Knochen dürfte so um die 30 Jahre alt sein. Das gebe ich Ms. Dadmin mit, wenn in #Stuttgart wieder #FckWsn ist. Zur Selbstverteidigung 😁

  9. 📞🚗 The Ericsson GA628 phone is already a legend, but how mobile-business awesome were we if we got the hands-free kit HF 6300 for it back then? 💼💪 As a bonus, it even has 𝔾𝕆𝕆𝔻 𝕊𝕆𝕌ℕ𝔻 ℚ𝕌𝔸𝕃𝕀𝕋𝕐! 😅

  14. Today I opened voice memos on my #iPhone for the first time in probably years and it asked me if I wanted to enable sync to #iCloud. I chose yes and it immediately deleted all the local recordings (I now have zero).

    I'm talking to #Apple support, and they've informed me that my device is categorized as "Vintage", and I don't think that's a good sign.

  15. Oh yeah! I was posting Christmas telephone stuff this month wasn't I..

    On Friday I mentioned that The Hull Corporation telephone company launched their Santa service.

    Well, here are three examples of the recorded messages that kids could dial up and listen to:

  20. I’ve spent over a year been looking for a Mk1 operators console for my #isdx #TelephoneExchange

    I finally got one a few weeks back, but before I start trying to wire it up to the #PhoneExchange I wanted to give it a once over, and #GetTheBatteriesOut if needed!

    It all looks good, no obviously leaky caps, no battery to remove, most of the chips are date coded 1986.

    I’ve put it back together, and now I can proceed with sorting out the exchange end!
