1982. Back in the day, you couldn't just buy a phone. You had no option but to rent one from the telco. Their argument was they they didn't want degradation of their network caused by customer owned equipment.

Telecom history is kind of interesting because AT&T was constantly gaming the system.

Edit: Have you picked up that model of phone lately? I forgot how HEAVY they were. It's a phone but it can also double as a tethered home defense system! Saw a pretty sky blue push button at an antique store for $40. I didn't want to pay that much but now I wish I had.

Western Electric made some damn good phones. I have a touchtone one, and a rotary dial WE test set.

The place I work still has WE phones hooked up to some kind of PBX.



Nothing beats a phone you can slam down.

That explains it... I lived under a rock in the 80s when Rush was going down hill slowly but surely. (for the hardcore fans...)

That was an awesome video.  I'm old enough to remember when there weren't entire aisles in every store filled with phone equipment because you weren't allowed to buy your own phone.
