I saw these in an inspection I did today. Does anyone know what they are? I ve never seen them before.
Old phone jack.
Shows my age I guess. Thanks!
I must be getting old.
Yes, it’s phone jack.
BTW-They do make 4 pin to modular adaptors.
Jeez, first a TV antenna, now a phone jack. What…are all new inspectors 12 years old or something??? 
26, but I guess thats close enough! Thanks for the help fellas
That’s funny Mike!!
I needed a laugh this morning. Guess that shows my age, too ! Golly what’s next ?
Maybe this:

ET communication port. “Phone Home”
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 . . .
Oh, man. Now I feel old…
Have to admit I haven’t seen one in a while.
