Fortunately I've not had to do that. If I had more cabinet space, then
perhaps.

I'm assuming patchwork here (yeah, I know). Will the bounty be "organised"
as to size/material/pattern/colour ot judt boxed/bagged in bulk?

During the recent power outaage I tried to use my land liene phone to
make a call and it told me "No power to base station". So I had to get
the old desk phone that I kept and find a telephone jack to plug it in.
Then it worked fine .... the telephone company has its own power source.
