Was using my Radio Shack DTMF Trimline phone just a few days ago to test this Grandstream HT802, a VoIP Analog Telephone Adapter (going with 1-VoIP.com for a single line to help my sight-impaired wife, so she can use a big-button, lighted keypad like on a V-Tech, Panasonic, etc. cordless phone that uses POTS). It's got to be 30 years old.
Which brings up a question: I wonder if current residential POTS lines will respond to pulse dialing?
I have a rotary phone in the basement, and it still works, so pulse dialing is still a thing!
btw... I love making a call on it once in a while
Just tried it on mine, and it works, but I'm thinking the POTS lines aren't all the same any more.
did you ever dial a number by "pulsing" the plunger or hangup cradle?I have a rotary phone in the basement, and it still works, so pulse dialing is still a thing!

reminded me of this old clip.... "You're making Sparks!"
The bad guy looks like Hal Smith that played the town drunk, Otis Campbell, on the Andy Griffith Show!
I had one of those Mattel .38 revolvers...you pressed a stick-on cap on the primer end of the "cartridge" and pushed a spring-loaded plastic bullet into the other end of the cartridge. When the hammer hit the cap the cap it would explode and the plastic "bullet" would be launched, albeit somewhat weak. I don't think you could put an eye out with it if you tried.
