I finally took some pictures of my phone.  It even still has the fabric inside the vents on the side Sorry it took me so long to get these posted.

I learned this week, well, earlier and promptly forgot  until AT&T was setting up the new  place,  rotary phones   get all cranky with  VOIP systems, offered by Comcast, At&T, maybe Vonage ( no sure).

The phone will ring, you can talk, but will be unable to make calls, the phone system  doesn't know how to handle rotary dialing.

I'm sure someone has a kit to get around this, don't know if they work, howew they work, or if it's worth it. This will definately mess up installing the payphone

Kilroy they do make converts and I don't see why you could wire up more the one phone if it shares the same line

That is awesome! I never knew they made something like that. Now I can use a rotary phone in my dorm room.
