Off Topic: Wisconsin couple has tens of thousands of old phones and nobody to buy them
So when I told my wife I wanted to buy a house this situation was a concern for her. She said you have this many computers now, imagine you with a house. https://madison.com/news/local/phoneco-wisconsin-telephones-knappen-business... "The granary constructed in 1903 is full of phones, same with the barn and its silo built in 1957 after a tornado destroyed the original dairy structure. The pole shed from Menards put up in 1979 is filled with telephones along with 33 semi-trailers, some missing their doors and surrounded by junked cars, trucks and campers. One, according to Knappen, holds 1,000 walnut boxes for vintage wall phones. Another is used to store 1,000 steel desk phones."
