RJ-11, a 6 pin plug & jack, with 6 pins, only 2 or 4 of them used, is
correct for ALL analog telephones, rotary or DTMF. Either one, you
connect them red wire to red wire and yellow wire to yellow wire.


Red an green were the wires for the phone. Black and yellow could be
used for a 2nd line or power for a light in some phones.


That old rotary phone is coming back in style. There is a demand as
people are restoring older homes and want the old phones in the
colors to match the 70's decor.

You should see the outrageous prices they charge for those old rotaty
phones on Ebay and other online auctions. Not that I'd want one....



What great news. I can clean out part of the basement and get rich.
