How to dial an old-style telephone

See I didn’t think you would need a lesson but then, probably, you’re not 14.

It has taken nearly two years but finally we have got cable which means we can now use my old bakelite phone as the house phone.

Ahhh I am quite excited but the rest of the family, less so.

Groover: It’s useless! I tried to call a 1300 number today and I had to “press 1” but you can’t on that phone.

Dippity: So does that mean I can’t take the phone into my bedroom??!

Hugamuga: Meh. I don’t use the phone anyway.

I quite like not having an answering machine too. After all, if you really want to speak to me you’ll ring me on one of my mobiles right?

And who uses caller ID anyway.

So for those of you who want to go retro communicado – here’s a little how-to video from my girl.

The best present

I got some lovely presents this year but I must confess this is my favourite.

A vintage working telephone.

The markings underneath point to it being a PMG (Post Master General) 400 series.

And my (limited) internet research suggests that it was probably released in 1958.

The 58 is stamped on the back and it is consistant with the markings on a 1957 version from the Powerhouse Museum.

The only fly in the ointment is that while it works when we plug it in, if we do we sacrifice 2009 connectivity.

That’s right.

No internet.

So until I work it out, my lovely flashback to 1958 is but an ornament.

What do I love about it?

The handset is heavy and amplifies your voice when you speak into it.

The dial makes a satisfying click click click as it swings around.

I love the directions for dialing – perhaps necessary in this day and age…

And it works even when there is a power outage (take that modern equivalents!).

Oh, and when you put the handset back in place it makes a little ‘ding’ sound.

So you rock little brother!

Thank you.

And merry Christmas to you all!
