Some of us tease, pun and joke here and that is what it is so don't be put off if it happens.

 

how come there is no forum for toys ? or am i missing it

 

There isn't and good question...
I assume not enough requests have been forthcoming to the mods.

 

Well lets pass the question on to them maybe they just forgot lol

 

a wise person once said to me "do not assume , if you do you will make an ASS of U and ME ". stuck with me all my life feel free to pass it on lol

 

I set this up in the basement my sons friends really thought it was kewl and said it's like primitive video games from my era lol

 

Welcome. I don't think anyone ever stops learning when it comes to antiques.

@ Lloyd, I showed my youngest grandson a rotary dial phone and he had no clue what to do with it. After playing with it for a while, he was astounded at how long it took to dial someone's full telephone number and how heavy the receiver was. He said we must have talked less "back then"

 

I collect them also and the wall mount one really blows their minds, with a 3 foot cord lol and the phone numbers were only 4 digits long

 

Nice one!

 

I have a number of table top and wall mount types as well as 2 large, black, coin ops of which one is Canadian...eh.

 

MillCoveTreasures, that is priceless.

I will add that there is at least one person here whose grandmother and an aunt were still answering their "home" telephone(s) in the 1960s with the word "alright" (instead of "hello") as if an "operator" at the city's central switchboard had placed/connected the call to them.
