Default Re: Hudson handset

Ackerman handsets... been thinking on that Fred. It has taken a few days to come back.
Radiophones based on FM900 and such surely used those. I still have some. They can work on an FM900 for use on Amateur Bands but you have to carry the function of the "odd" keys in your head.

They had very strong rubber coiled cables. Quite unlike the smooth PVC type which accompanied Whitehall and similar - more like telephone handset quality.

Rectangular Pye Westminster Mic also had good quality hard rubber but it wasn't immune to getting the dreaded reversed turns. CCC becoming CC8CC
