Joseph Tucker [Moderator's Note: Well, sure it is. You would open the phone, disconect the dial and associated wires, yank it out and insert a touch tone pad there instead. Of course, the shell would not fit correctly since the cut out on the rotary dial phone is round, and the cut out you'll be needing is square. Why bother, given the inexpensive and high quality touchtone phones on the market? I could walk from home to the Radio Shack, buy a phone and bring it back quicker than I could modify an old dial phone. PAT]
