[GreenKeys] OT: Bell System Mobile (Radio) Telephone Service

[Duncan Brown]

Don,

Yes, that is an interesting site.  I was an electronic design engineer 
at Harris Corp.,  Mobile Telephone Division (aka RF Communications) for 
many years and worked on various MTS, IMTS & cellular mobile phones.  
I'm looking for a handset for the AWA Museum's 1947 WE mobile phone. Two 
big boxes that sat in  your trunk and only a single channel. RX has a 
vibrator supply, TX has a big dynamotor.

There doesn't seem to be many of the old MT control heads around (not 
useful for hams, I guess). I've been looking for some Secode heads. If I 
find any extras, I'll let you know.

Have fun,

Duncan
