Reader Dale L. mentioned that Cheaper Than Dirt [2] now sells battery-powered surplus German field telephones (minus commo wire) for $48 per pair. Cheaper Than Dirt is not one of our advertisers, but I recommend them. Anyone looking for original USGI surplus TA-1 field telephones that don’t require batteries should contact Ready Made Resources [3]. A good source for military surplus WD-1 commo wire is Fair Radio Sales [4]. (Also not one of our advertisers, but recommended.)
