Amazing carphone control head! MTS/IMTS phones are pretty rare today...
I transferred a nice factory photo from Geoff's site maybe it not make him angry :D

No, it's just the corporate sign (Motorola) on the plate.

Hello,

My name is terry. I live in the CA area. I am just about to open a western electric (ma bell and Motorola museum) I would love to display the MJ Motorola control head to show the youth of today what took place in the past. I'm not sure what the cost would be today without the equipment package to along with it. Please let me know if you would be interested in donating the unit for prosperity or a amount you might be interested in selling it for.

Thank you,

Terry Feckett
W/E Museum

Hi Terry,

It's great that you want to open a museum for these beautiful and old devices.

I have long searched for, until I found this old Motorola IMTS phone.

Currently I would not sell any equipment from my collection and please this for your understanding.

Should I want to sell it some time, I will inform you.

Cheers
Thomas

These were wonderful item. I had a working unit for over seven years. When analog was phased out by the government it went to the way side. Not sure on the price anymore. I am about to open a Motorola/Western Electric Museum in CA. I would love to have this on display. Please let me know.

Hello Terry,

I now have a 2nd device and could give one of the devices. I paid with shipping about $ 300.00 for it and would sell it for it again. Are you interested?

Best regards
Thomas
