Re: Setting up Shop in Dayton (aka Cholla's Retreat)
I tabled my "intercom" project about a year ago as I could not figure why my large Western Electric wall mount phone would not transmit. Tonight I traced the problem down (broken solder joint on the push-to-talk mechanism) and all systems are a GO. Next is to set up the house portion of this intercom with another Western Electric (desktop handset with separate metal battery box). Now the Mrs can get a hold of me to come in and do my chores that I am most likely avoiding! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Like the Niehoff cabinet. One of my buddies works at CE Niehoff in Chicago area which makes alternators for large government and military vehicles.

Re: Setting up Shop in Dayton (aka Cholla's Retreat)
As I was inspired by other guys' shops (here and at Garage Journal), glad others can pick up a thing or two. So, I am taking it that everyone will have vintage wooden phones as intercom? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
Last night I installed the main house intercom that connects to the shop. When you turn the hand crank on the top box, it rings this box and the phone out in the shop. It'll make napping under the cars a bit more of a challenge as these bells are <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">LOUD</span></span> [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img]! It is a different setup with a distinct upscale handset! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] Also pictured (hanging off of the wooden crate) is the metal battery box which powers this system. Only needs 3 volts and about 20ma to operate.
