Old Rotary Telephone Connection
I recently bought a very old rotary telephone, and I would like to
hook it up and use it. There are 3 wires in the telephone cord--red, green and yellow. How do I hook these wires up to a standard RJ11 jack? The phone I have has red, green, yellow and black. Is there something else I need to modify to get this to work? thanks! Kevin |

Second, call the phone company and see if they still support pulse dial. If so, then connect red to red, green to green, and leave the yellow and black unconnected. It might not ring, but that's a whole nother project. ;-) Good Luck! Rich |
