Telephony. It's a terrible hobby for terrible people.
I dabble in the digital and IP switching. Electro-mechanical stuff is for greybeards.

I've got old phones.


Weird phones.


Phones for testing.


Most of my phone systems are tucked away in storage but I pulled this one out because it makes use of "game cartridges" for add in cards for some reason.


The backend that is tying all of the active stuff together.


Getting phones hooked up and ringing each other up can be interesting but sometimes it's good to just be silly.

sick collection. i have this old phone from the 90s, but i haven't figured out what to do with it. is there any easy way of connecting it to a PC or smartphone to make calls? based on the amount of equipment you have maybe not...but figured i would ask




You want an analog telephone adapter. You can get one for about $50 to connect to a VOIP provider. Most providers have a guide on how to configure them for their service.
