The Prisoner (1967) No2's Telephones

[mk1mark]

This is my first post, so please be gentle.

I have been working on these for a while, a set of the desk phones from the 1967 British TV Series The Prisoner.

They are fully working & can be used to make & receive calls via a bluetooth connection to a mobile phone, have a built on LiPo battery with a stand by life of approximately 60 hours.

Very nice work and that they can be used is just the icing on the cake.

Cool. What are they made out of?

Shells are 3D printed, button is milled from aluminium.

Love it!! I wonder if you could hack in the guts of a cordless land-line phone so that you could easily stand it on a base with a charging port.

I wanted to make it a wireless charger, but the room inside made this very tricky without redesigning the guts with custom electronics & it wasn't worth it. So it recharges via a Mini USB in the back. To graft in the guts from a normal cordless phone would mean having a way of dialling numbers via a keypad & I wanted to keep the look exactly as it was on the TV. This meant just the one button.

This is awesome! Will you be making these available?

 

[mk1mark]

Possibly.

News will follow shortly.

Cool! I have a set of the original standphones used for the prop phones. Searched Ebay for years, they are rarer than hen's teeth
