Until a couple of years ago I had a couple of record player communicators. Nobody wanted them. Got fed up tripping over them so dumped them. Could've been the jewel in your crown.

Does anyone remember those grey, DIY grade diallers? Mind you RS sold them

Like a plain grey box with a cheap telephone keypad in the middle. Smiths Timemaster or something.

 

Used to piss off plod / BT as 999 was blocked but 112 wasn't.

 

Like this one in fact - http://ezimtech.com/smiths-autodialler-p-170743.html

 

Is it just me or is this that link a blatently fake fraudulent web shop BTW?

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

it would have

Saw something very odd yesterday, in a bank that's been refurbed about 10 times the last ten years, had a Costa added and removed (hmm, guess which bank...)

still has the original 2 zone fire alarm panel.

 

In itself nothing much of a surprise, what got me was that the panel was branded Mercury Communications, the actual phone co. Mercury with the logo and everything.

Clearly a proper 80s relic. Assume the big sell was some sort of communicator as standard? Guessing C+W have long ditched the biz during their many demergers too...

A battery operated Acorn control panel made in Cornwall c.1972,  from an OLD garden shed, still worked :o

Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.
