Mine too! And I still have the acoustic modem (Andersen-Jacobsen), though I no longer seem to have a telephone handset (with rotary dial) which would fit the two rubber cups.
Incidentally, I found that if I switched the modem on, with the (CP/M) computer receptive to it, I could hit the carrier-tone pitch by whistling. Then, by making fluctuations in pitch, I could cause all sorts of random garbage to flash up on screen (mostly, I think, the effects of "control codes"). I once played a Beethoven symphony to it, with spectacular results ...
Cheers, Ted.
