  I was thinking of putting together a linesman's handset here, and I
was wondering, is it really as easy as putting good-quality Alligator
Clips onto a rotary dial phone's two wires?
 
  I've always wanted to make one of these beasts, and I'd rather not
pay the $110 can I've seen them here in surplus stores.
 
  Any help appricated.
