Falling in Love on the Phone

Post-Script: How about that silk ribbon, eh? The Merc Two has a new lease on life with the Ribbons Unlimited silk ribbon.

There used to be a store in ABQ called the Sunwest Telephone Store. It was on San Pedro and Copper, across from the State Fair Grounds. Back in the late 1990s I purchased this new-in-box, never opened, Western Electric two-line dial telephone. My step-daughter wanted her own phone number, so we rigged it so she could switch to her line with the rotary switch on the phone. She's the newly married bride we celebrated in northern New Mexico this last weekend. I used this phone for years, until I had some DSL speed issues and disconnected the dial phones. Probably should plug this one back in and see how it runs.
