Say Pete, How often do you need to recharge the magnets in your kitchen wall mounted CrankaTalk electric communication device? ….
Far less often than having a dead battery in the new devices, I bet! Plus, if your hand cranked device was like ours in the '50's, you were on social media, known then as a party line. All the neighbor ladies were privy to all your conversations. See? The more things change, the more they stay the same!
