Circle devices on wall

[John Evans]

I installed many 4 prong jacks when I worked for the local phone company, (now Verizon). How many remember the princess phone with the ringer mounted on the wall or baseboard? Also required a transformer for the lighted dial. The ringers were fun to wire when the customer had a party line! I know, some have never heard of a party line. And then came the "Trimline" phones, progress!!

Matt, they are phone jacks. There are actually adapters that allow current style phone jacks to be plugged into these. I have one in my house with an adapter that has been used for 29 years. Its at the baseboard where not noticable so I never bothered to upgrade it.

Matt, with all due respect, how do you do function checks for 8-track systems that are built in at time of construction for 1974 homes?

Only kidding

;~)

That's outside the SOP . . .

Have to admit I haven't seen one in a while.
