  • Yup, my uncle on the farm had the old party line too. Sad, because I remember as kid seeing that phone on the woodpile after he upgraded to a modern unit. Boo.

  • Wow. The best! When I was a kid in south-central Wisconsin, this was our first phone. Had a party line where 3 or 4 of your closest neighbors could listen in if they liked... hah!! So very cool for an amp!! -Glenn
