Space Walkie Talkies Database


Brian..

Recommended Posts

I've transferred most of the space walkie talkies we've discussed to the database. The cut-off date is around the the 1980s: I've kept to the vintage theme and stopped at the point where the modern electronics start. String is OK, microprocessors are not. :thumbs:

No electricity? Perhaps no electricity from Batteries.

I wonder if this still used piezo generated electricity from voice input?

I recall building a simple crystal radio which didn't require batteries.

 

Or maybe I'm over analyzing🧐 and this is a gloried 'string' can telephone.

As seen in this 1968 Radio Shack Christmas Catalog

These appear to be based on the Remco molds. I can't make out what that sticker says on top of them

and I haven't been able to find a picture of the actual toy. Their "real" name is yet to be determined.
