bag phone

Found this 1987 cellular mobile telephone. It weighs in at whapping 6.5lbs. I will be looking for more era items for my 87 GN.

I didn't think analog phones would work anymore.

I had one of those.... Still avialable on ebay along with the brick phones.
All you need is a bunch of cassettes!

I still have cassettes in the WE4, then again they sound better than MP3's anyway, if recorded on a Nakamichi Dragon also from 1987.

Congratulations on the phone, don't put it near your head however they output 3 watts of microwave brain melting power.

I had one of those! Cutting edge at the time. Sold it on ebay for $35 many years ago. Got a huge box of cassettes from the 70's / early 80's if anyone is interested.

eBay was around in the late 90's!

Or a Revox B-215, which I still have

Nice machine!!!

I couldn't afford any of them until the 90's, the Dragon was expensive and mint, I picked up two Tandberg TCD-440's real cheap from a dead guy.

His daughter was going to give them to the local consignment shop along with the rest of his stereo including Denon components and two Klipsch Heresy II bookshelf speakers.

I couldn't let that happen.....

My old boss had a Radio Shack bag phone back in the day, analog anything still rules.

That is awesome. Found one of these the other day at work when cleaning out some shelves. No idea if it would even turn on if plugged in.
