Artist Track Album Label Year Comments
Evan Doorbell  QC514-285ESS1   Favoriting     1974  This is a #1 ESS in downtown Montreal, featuring the Canadian "Pre- 'Dial Tone First'" arrangement, which was implemented on blue Northern Centurion coin phones. I don't know whether this was a "semi-DTF" arrangement or a crude temporary DTF arrangement which allowed things like "0" to be dialed without a coin.

I don't recall all the details but this is a fascinating episode of Radiolab that this phone stuff reminds me of.

@Dave, yeah that's a great episode. I love these tapes, if you want more, Evan has hundreds if not more hours of recordings of the phone systems of the 70's and 80's here: www.evan-doorbell.com

I miss calling the time.

Jesse Kaminsky:

yeah I kind of miss moviephone even
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:15pm
listener james from westwood:

It's just amazing how much of the inner workings of the telecom system were relatively open and available, via technical journals, for so long.

Hey Kenzo! Actually, I'm not positive that it is, maybe it was me that moved on :(
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:26pm
listener james from westwood:

The range of tech being discussed! Hearing mercury switches earlier blew my mind. Just what you want in a workplace, a heavy metal!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:26pm
David D:

Thanks for going overtime, this is all quite fascinating.

Hi Kenzo!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:32pm
listener james from westwood:

Good narrator voice, on top of being informative!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:34pm
David D:

James: Absolutely, it is amazing to hear the story behind those that we usually hardly even notice.
Avatar 8:34pm
Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I highly recommend the HOPE conference, every other summer in NYC. Always lots of us* old phone phreakers there, and always some talks/presentations/demos on the subject. *of course I've never actually done this

"For informational purposes only."

As someone who all but sprinted home w/ his first smartphone so he could put a Conet numbers tone on it as the ringtone, I declare tonight's exploration into electronic mystery utterly riveting.

Getting curiouser and curiouser...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:47pm
listener james from westwood:

I keep thinking about the bit of electronic chatter the probe droid emits in "The Empire Strikes Back."

"But it won't be around long." (looks at smartphone) Ain't that the truth?

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:52pm

Wait, what about Northern Boulevard?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:00pm

So many Long Island references - and even the operator sounds familiar.

That mechanical tape drum is singing along to "O Superman."
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:04pm
coelacanth∅:

damn, i remember that sound too.
-i miss that stuff. (then again i miss a lot about older technology)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:14pm
coelacanth∅:

i definitely had that happen. i also once got to hear, with the person i was on the phone with, both ends of someone else's conversation.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:15pm
coelacanth∅:
