[GreenKeys] OT: Explosion-Proof phone on ebay...

[drlegendre .]

Indulge me, here..

So in the case of the WE set on eBay, is this phone intended to prevent
-or- withstand an explosion - or both?

For some reason, I doubt that clear Lucite rotary dial would put up with
much flak. Seems far too fragile for a bomb-proof item.

And why does it have to weigh 30 lbs? Designers wanted inertia on their
side for once? ;-)
