Ref: Early 1970s push button pulse-only telephones
In the last post, what I didn't tell you is that I installed Tone dialing telephones on the same number that uses pulse. Have you ever heard pulse dialing computer? The staccato quality of the sound is more to my liking than the rapid-fire dialing of the tone dialer. So I have the old relic - black,lighted push button, pulse-dialing telephone and the modern ones with bells and whistles. The relic is the talk of the moment, when the subject comes up with the clients, who always ask when I am going to change the entire system to the modern ones. What I have is a hybrid system. The problem with the old system was that the strip fuses were conking out in the box, until I replaced them with the modern glass-enclosed cylindrical fuses.
