Never all at once. My grandparents, my best friend and our place in the mountains had a rotary phone, but no black and white tvs or 8 tracks. I had an 8 track, my aunt did and my parent's van did (not mini van, this was pre mini van). I'll one up this though. Our place in the mountains had a tv that got 2 channels. One from DC and the other from Harrisonburg. In order to do that, we had an antenna that was huge at the top of a really tall poll. When we needed to switch the channel, someone had to spin the pole while someone watched the tv and there had to be a middle man. The person watching the tv would yell to the middle man so they could yell to the person spinning the antenna to stop when the picture came in :grin:
 
I seem to remember that we mostly had push-button phones by the time 8-tracks came out. Of course, the memory can be fuzzy as time goes on.
 
I've dialed a rotary next to a B&W TV with foil on it and separately listened to an 8 track in a room with a rotary phone. So...close enough.
 
i've done all those, not all at the same time. the 8 track was in the car. so i couldn't dial a rotary phone WHILE listening to the 8 track. :grin:

i'll go a little further. some of my favorite shows when i was young were Honey West, Route 66, 77 Sunset Strip, Man from UNCLE, Get Smart.....:old:
the first 3 were B&W only.
 
Had the rotary phone, had the 8 track which sucked for trying to fast forward to a specific song, bit I was living the high life with the rotary antenna box on top of the TV that would turn the antenna on the roof.
