I moved from a house that still had landline in 2021 and not all that long ago it would still work with a rotary as I tried it for curiosity. I am really awed by the fact that some people now would have no idea how it functions. Time flies so fast.

this being your first video, I am very impress, good job I really enjoyed it. 10/10

You actually don't need the rotary mechanism. It's just an elaborate way to make a bunch of clicks (according to the number you dial) spaced far enough apart for the system to count them so it knows what number you're dialing. You can simulate the clicks by tapping the hangup switch. Tap it 1x for 1, 2x for 2, 3x for 3, etc., and 10x for 0. Pause, and begin tapping for the next number. (Short taps; if you do a long tap it will hang up.) Back in the old days, this was a hack for using a phone whose dial or touch-tone keypad was broken. Saved me a few times when the only pay phone was busted. Likewise, if you had a recording of the touch tones for a phone number, you could simply play that into the mic in lieu of punching or dialing the numbers. (Of course we didn't carry cell phones or MP3 players in our pocket everywhere back in those days, so it wasn't exactly easy to carry around a recording.)

I just want to have one hooked up to an alarm clock...

Love the video brother❤ keep it up !!!!

So this is in assumption that your service provider still accepts rotary single clicks to dial and that it provides the appropriate voltage to ring the bells... I have subscribed to see what you do next because this seems rudimentary so far... :) Thanks for the Patrick call tho LOL

Neat! My folks are clearing out the basement in preparation to sell the house, and I know we have a few old rotarys down there. I'm a sucker for the "WHRRRR" of the dial and the bells ringing; so I think this might be something neat to do and have setup in my home.

I spent weeks ripping out the wiring for those phones. I learned later I could have repurpose them for Ethernet.

cool vid. unfortunately the landline provider here no longer supports the dialing format these use, so technically it can only receive calls

The was too painful to listen to. Write a script and stick to the script.
