[Boatanchors] Carbon Mic Rejuvination

Obviously!

Touch Tone Western Electrics are found also.

One of those is sitting on a shelf downstairs.

I just don't feel like connecting the "Princess Phone" power supply to 
light the dial.

The AT&T phone on the wall in the kitchen is also touch tone.

Fat chance on replacing it either!  Their stores ONLY carry cell phones!
