Bell Telephone System Sounds of the 1970s & More (=•_•=) Posted: 1/11/2007 4:04:19 PM
About a year ago, I was feeling nostalgic for the sounds of the old phone system I remember as a kid. So, after doing some searching I found a site that had all I was hoping to find and more. If this site is new to you, try listening to the selections listed below as a start. The last 4 are more for entertainment than historical preservation. http://www.wideweb.com/phonetrips/ Group Bell's Salute to Operators (1974 - 1978) The Sounds of Long Distance Part 4 (1976) Dom Tuffy Calls His Office Dom Tuffy Calls Bell System Prospects Dom Tuffy Calls the DeFuniac Telephone Company Dom Tuffy Busts Trace Street Here is the direct download page for all the audio recordings: ftp://ftp.wideweb.com/GroupBell As a kid, I did some phone phreaking. About the age of 12, I made a pulse phone dialer out of a Morse code key and radio parts for the rest of the phone (lucky me, I had a phone outlet in my room). I used to like to call long distance information (which was free back then) just to make distant contacts. Getting the number for WWVH in Hawaii was a particular favorite. Anyone else out there ever play with the phone system back in the days of the Blue Boxes and Cap'n Crunch whistles?
