Re: Payphone in Mayberry

2020-03-08 Thread Ed Mease
In my small hometown (Nowata, OK) as a child, we could still pick-up the 
receiver to speak to the operator.  But, as dial phones came around, there was 
a payphone on the outside wall of the phone company.  It had a dial, a 
change-slot, everything.  When you picked up the receiver, before you could 
deposit your dime or dial a number, the operator came on to connect you.  I 
guess it was a true transitional time in telephone technology!

Payphone in Mayberry

2020-03-06 Thread Ken Anderson
I may have mentioned this once before years ago, so if this is a repeat, I
apologize.

Have you ever noticed that in the earlier episodes Walker's Drugstore has a
dial payphone?  I wonder how that works in Mayberry when everyone else just
picked up the receiver and talked to Sarah.
