Still works for now
The POP-Corn for time still works, I'll try again tomorrow.
All of my phones are from 1980's or earlier. I like Western Electric, for durability and sound quality, and lack of features! 2 of my phones are rotary. I found a Radio Shack speaker phone add on from 1982 that works pretty good, requires no additional power supply. So with that I have all of the features I need.
I have a separate answering machine that handles that function, and still keep my Tele-Zapper connected even though I am on the do not call list. Funny thing with the Tele-Zapper, when you dial with rotary, it beeps after each dial twist.
But, I will miss the time, I too use that feature when the power goes out, and at day light saving time change, so I can reset all of my clocks accurately. My atomic clock does not work, probably can't pick up that signal from Colorado.
