Post kinda OT....80's cell phn

I think I asked a couple months ago but I never got and definate answers. silly as it sounds, I was looking for a period 80's phn to put in the '80's benz. I dont know why, but I always liked those big black phones w/ the big cords. if anyone has one they want to get rid of, let me know, i'll take it off your hands <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

I may have an old GE that you can have (If I can find it) I pulled it out of one of my cars.. But from that era they are all analog, with todays digital plans they are not cost effective.

I had one of those Motorola cell phones that looks like those big Army radios back in the '80s. What beast it was. Had completely forgotten about it until I saw "Wall Street" on TV a couple weeks ago. I was on the floor just LMFAO when I saw Michael Douglas using one of those things... how embarrassing... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

I work in the cell phone industry, and can probably get you a mobile unit. Send me a pm and I will look for one this week. Do you care if it works?

I emailed you, you can have have the phone for shipping , the offer thing was a joke. You would probably have to pay someone else to take that thing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Not that anyone would want it but I have one of these babies in the garage. Man it will cook your brains when you talk on it. I still have the receipt in 1984 for 396.54 just for the phone
