Fund bei der Auflösung einer Wohnung. Kann mich noch dunkel an den alten Knochen erinnern.

On the healing bench today, a #candlestick #telephone - it’s a UK Post Office “Tele 180” made by Plessey in 1927

It’s the oldest phone I own!

It’s a little sorry for itself, with broken wires, paint in the mechanism, a stuck hook switch and slow dial… it’s not in original condition (bits have been overcleaned, or repainted) but I’m not worried about that.

The first move has been to get it all apart for cleaning!

@ety my shenanigans are mostly on much older kit than your average home lab phone setup (#electromechanical #strowger!)

My preference for phone kit is “massive, heavy, and maintained with a spanner” 😂

I just throw a ton of tags at it (usually as many relevant ones as I can fit in the post) #TelephoneExchange #phoneExchange #pbx #vintagePhone are probably my most commonly used.

I’ve been hanging out with @CuTEL a bit over the last couple of years, so I also have some more modern #voip & #dect

Having fun with possibly the best Walkman phone - the Sony Ericsson W995! I use this as my actual MP3 player when I go out, just for the nostalgia and the enjoyment!

Of course, best girl is the wallpaper :)

You know it’s going well if I’ve had to get the diagrams out…

Starting off with one of my favorite Sony Ericsson models, the S700i.

On its release in 2004, it was a very high end phone, based on the SO505iS model released exclusively in Japan the year prior.

It has a very large and high resolution screen for the time, as well as being the first 1.3 Megapixel camera device released by Sony Ericsson outside of Japan. It also has a unique "swivel" mechanism to open and close the phone.

My unit was originally locked to Vodafone, however I was able to unlock it using the DSS-25 docking station accessory (as it functions as a serial-to-USB adapter) and the "SEMC Tool" unlocking software.
