Rotary Phone
-
I have one of These[^] (But in two tone grey), and much as I love it, Mrs Wife wants me to get shot of it and buy a new crappy cordless rubbish thing. I am loathe to do this, as I love the phone, but needs must when the boss makes her mind up. It looks like they are going for £30-40 on eBay, so there is not a lot of money to be made selling it. Should I stick to my guns and keep it, or should I just sell it be be done? I shall judge the view of the forum and decide!

Get the new one and put the old one in that cupboard with the Breville, the Yoghurt Maker and the Crinkle Cut Chip Maker until the price rises.

Why not keep it and then buy a cordless unit with the base unit plugged into an extension for the missus to use?

Further Elucidation: Michelle has redecorated the lounge and now thinks the 1970's classic looks dated in her Über Chic Boutique. She has indicated how pleased she would be if "That Ugly Old Thing" (her words) were removed and replaced by something a little more stylish. She has no conception of what a marvellous piece of design and engineering it is.

Ah yes, the joys of a Breville! I still make toasties, but I use a George Formby now.

An ancient proverb I made up not too long ago:
The Husband may wear the pants in the family, but he best please his Wife if he ever again wants to get them off.

"As far as we know, our computer has never had an undetected error." - Weisert

Does an excellent job, but doesn't seal so you have to be careful with the timing. A few seconds too long and the cheese is all in the drip tray.

Indeed, but I superintend all my cuisine related operations. I think a Cheese, Ham and Onion Toastie is food of the gods.

I would keep it. If it's anything like my circa 1981 Western Electric desk phone[^], it's probably built like a tank. /ravi

Cheese, ham, shallot and mushroom is very good, especially with denser bread. I am a big fan of cheese and paprika salami. Sadly the lack of a seal means my favourite ever toastie is now too messy to contemplate; Heinz tinned ravioli, cheese, and ketchup.

It truly is solid and well engineered, it would survive the vicissitudes of life in a busy household. (Hell, it would survive a nuclear bomb!)

Ooh, sounds nice. My fave was sausage, chips and baked beans. Definitely need a sealer for that one.

Whilst I have never had a Heinz tinned ravioli, cheese, and ketchup toastie, I can imagine it and it sounds like a winner! I also like a bacon and scrambled egg toastie.
