Discovering a Hidden Gem: The Rare All-Metal Vintage Walkie Talkie That Looks Like a Phone

In this video, we delve into the world of vintage communication devices with a stylish all-metal walkie talkie that looks like a phone, but isn't a phone. This rare gem is so unique that even Google doesn't have any images of it! Join us as we take a closer look at this beauty, open it up for some repairs, and ponder whether or not we should change the capacitors, all while being mindful of the delicate circuit board.
Afterwards, we turn our attention to making a new badge for the front of the radio to restore its aesthetic appeal. Finally, we take the radio out to the field for a comprehensive test against another vintage radio and a modern radio, to see how they compare. Watch as we explore the fascinating world of vintage communication devices and uncover the hidden features and unique design elements of this rare all-metal walkie talkie.

Love your attention to detail Paul!
The logo turned out better than what was on the radio in the first place more than likely.
Thanks for showing the set off.

Wow what beautiful walk talkies. I also really like these "toys". Thanks for sharing 👍.

For an old girl she certainly performed better than I would have thought Paul

Ciao Paul ,,, we are in 23 ,, full nano technology ,
but extracting a whip ( telescopic ) antenna from an old walkie is always an emotional sensation

[@themaryjayneexperience5427]

Awesome walkie talkie. It's maybe likely that the radios were sold with just the one set of crystals, with the option to purchase extra crystals if you wanted to add a channel.

[@Mike-H_UK]

Amazing that it works as well as it does. Shame about the other crystals being missing.

I had 2 back in the 80s unfortunately when in my scrap box many year ago as AM wasn’t popular back then

[@godhandneo505]

I'll give u a shout on it

[@rod1cooper]

I think it could be Transiphone rather than Trandiphone, as in Transwave. That’s an old skool S rather than a capital D. May help with your online search.

Great vlog, reminds me of the Nokia 7110 as used in the film The Matrix 1999

[@phillipsmiley5930]

It was a modified 8110 in the matrix
