The one and only Headphoneus Supremus to not be given the title - because I am that special. :p
Congrats on making Supremus, Spareribs! I was hoping you'd make it!
I love the old phones, too. I have fewer than headphones () but will pick up more when I have the room. They're dead simple to work on, built like tanks and the handsets are way better than any modern phone.
A couple favorites are the North Electric "Pyramid" and the Stromberg-Carlson 1243.
Cheers!

I remember the grey one with rotary dials, almost like the ones in the first picture in first post. Everyone had them. Took forever to make a call lol! And yeah, horrible ringing sound too!

Regarding the ringing: At my grandparents' house they had an old rotary phone in the bathroom on the reservoir of the toilet. Let's just say whenever you used the bathroom at their house you really hoped that no one called.
