Interesting to hear the original dial tone, ring tone and busy signal. The ones we hear now are pale electronic imitations.

Curious, I was was going to tag this for my 30s playlist, but based on the models shown here http://www.arctos.com/dial/ could this be the late 20s?

I was wondering that when submitting it -- though I didn't go to the level of effort that you have to figure it out. It does look like the 1927 model, but it still could be the 30s by the time this particular exchange adopted them. I thought another clue might be the number of digits in the phone numbers they are using, but that also varied by exchange apparently: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_number#History

So I guess I'll tag it as both 20s and 30s until someone comes up with a more definitive answer!

Dial tone sounds different.
