As always, stay tuned here on [email protected] for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/[email protected] posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520

I love the end of the plug detail, easy to miss.
Curious, though, that appears to be a 2 prong plug almost like a north American power outlet. Do/did some countries use that design for telephone cords? I’ve never actually considered that phone cords might be different in other countries, but it makes sense
Four prong square outlet for a time in US.
I found out about those as a kid when we moved into a house that had them still, and when I asked my mom she got a kick out of getting to teach me something. Haha. She’d had those as a kid. And then when I worked for the telephone company, I found out there are a surprising amount of older homes that never had them updated
But it just never occured to me there would be regional variation in phone jacks like there is with electrical plugs.
It’s called an F type plug, you know, since Hungary is in Europe…
No, thats a power plug
Fascinating! I worked for a phone company for a while, and it honestly just never occured to me that there would be variation in phone jacks like there is in electrical plugs.
There was actually a post on here the other day with an an old phone outlet from the dark ages. Link if you’re curious. Apparently we had them in the US too.
This seems to be the hungarian telephone plug standard

really strange looking connector to me
I think CB35 is a type of (pre-war) phone, the plug looks more like a two-prong version of one of the pre-rj ones: https://www.kupindo.com/Ostalo/38520427_TELEFONSKI-PRIKLJUCAK-ZA-KABAL
I did some googling, but I didn’t find much info other than everyone seemed to have different standards back then (this would’ve been the 1960s/1970s).
