[QUOTE="Coota, post: 101023, member: 3791"] Hi, had an interesting conversation with a brother today. Years ago he was a storeman with Telstra in Kalgoorlie, back in the days of the old Bakelite telephone. Seems the early detectorist around there would give their eye teeth to get their hands on the parts they wanted from the hand piece. They wanted the earpieces to place into headphones, as one told him "Mate, ya don't miss a whisper with those how about two cartons for a couple?" Anyway, when the old phones became outdated he put in a tender for the relevant parts off the shelve and they have been sitting in his shed ever since! I will be up that way in a few weeks so will get some cheap headphones and see how they go with the new old parts, shouldn't be hard to fit and I have a feeling it will be worth the effort. Has anyone ever heard anything similar? Cheers. [/QUOTE]
