While in Sioux City, Iowa, we visited Libby’s family home and discovered an old rotary telephone! Honestly, her family’s house is a treasure trove of interesting sounding objects. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough time to play around and record more.

This rotary phone from the 1980s creates a great sound with the rotating dial wheel! Sadly, we couldn’t make it ring because the power is generated from the telephone jack and was only connected to a wireless setup. Basically, old school phones like this get their power from the traditional way! Next time we’re in town we’re going to find an operational phone jack!
