Neat Old Guy Does Electronics

Spoiler! Not Parallax!

There's a lot to love about this fine fellow doing electronics and making a video (with titles and music!) about his project. The rotary phone dial is pure, mad genious, the rat's nest of wiring at 3:15 is classic, his laboratory is a hoot, but mostly I just admire his sincerity and passion for sharing his hobby. He and I have a common interest in speech synthesis, so I hope someone else gets a kick out of it. If I'm half as zippy when I get to be his age, I'll be pleased.

Maybe I'm a funny old guy to some young Thundercats. :)

    Me too. It looks almost the same as mine although it may be a bit neater.

    Love it! Way cool! Jut picked up a rotary phone from a flea market a few weeks ago. The beep beep beep of a touchtone phone has nothing on the whirl, click, click, click of the rotary phone, and the ringer!. I replaced the kitchen phone with it, but got voted out due to the lack of caller id and answering machine capabilities.... soon this old school phone will have all the features of the "newer versions", retaining the old school chic.
