Phone Plans

I’ve not tried dialing the number. I don’t think it would work

Another retro purchase today. I saw this phone calling me from a shop window in Beverley. I just couldn’t resist it, what with it being in good condition. And red. It’s been suggested that I might like to make it into a Batphone, but instead I’m going to pop a Raspberry Pi into it and try to turn it into some kind of personal assistant. You select the options you want by using the dial. I’d also like to use the telephone bell for an alarm signal. This will be a bit tricky as these are usually powered by 50 volts, but I’m going to take a look at inverter technology to see how I can make it work.

Great fun.
