| Hello, Great to have tis phone and the original user's manual too :-) It would be interesting to see inside this manual, could You scan or photo some pages and upload here in PDF? Peter | |
| Yes, sure, I will upload some more pics at least of the manual later. The manual is dated 1986 (version 2), but I have opened the transceiver up & all of the components in it have a 1984 date code on them, so was made in 1984. I believe it has updated 1986 firmware in it that would have added the system A/B selection function at least. This was not implemented in AMPS phones until 1985. The phone still works fine with my test set, pretty cool ! These old phones really were made to last ! The design of this phone is very similar to the first AMPS field trial phones from the late 1970's. Cheers, Chris. | |
| Just found a cool article from a US finance magazine from Nov 1985 that has a nice photo of this very phone. Have uploaded this. The phone appears to have been made by Hitachi, going by the ESN prefix code. | |
