For some time I've been wanting to get into electronics but never really taken the plunge, maybe this is just what I need..
Today, my wife brought into the house one of those really old phones where there's a dial on the front and you plug your finger into the selected number and spin the number-hub thing round and around (just like this one actually - even has the same connector on the end) http://www.retrolovedeluxe.co.uk/UploadedFiles/Products/Ivory 746.JPG - she purely wants to put it on display..
So anyway, I looked at this old blower and thought to myself absolutely everyone that sees that phone will pick up the ear piece and place it to their ear and perhaps give the dial a little twist. Wouldn't it be cool I thought if I could some how plug the phone into a piece of circuitry that would simply play back a recorded message just to give all those curious people a little surprise.... So in brief that outlines my intentions for my first electronics project and I am hoping you experts can help....
All I know at this point is that I will need:
Your help would be brilliant - Thanks, Weavo!!!

All I know at this point is that I will need:
- a female connection for the phone to plug into
- some wires
- a pcb with some electronics on it - something to store the recorded message I want to playback?
- a battery to power the circuitry
Your help would be brilliant - Thanks, Weavo!!!
