German World War 2 field phone converted into VoIP phone

I bought this for 20 bucks on a fleamarket.

It's an original German World War 2 field telephone. The manufacturer label on the inside says it was build in 1942. But instead of putting it into the shelf so that it becomes dusty I decided to build in a voice over IP telephone.

I think the result is realy showable and the transmission quality of it is perfect.

The WW2 German FF33 phones are not that rare, you should have bought another one and and hooked them up. Also you can buy a rotary dial for them and plug it into your wall jack instead of messing with the phone itself. What manufacturer is you phone?

I am from Germany and wouldn't get 10 bucks for it on eBay. There are dozens of offers with FF's in better condition. I don't feel sorry for the mod, I like it and could always get a better one.

From the historical point of view ... shit on it, I don't care.

And the for the manufacturer ... I don't know and I'm not in the mood to take the phone appart.

That sucks you messed up a WW2 unit, you could have used a postwar field phone >:|

[MrRedRooster]

So what? It still looks absolutely authentic besides that I put the electronics into the battery case. I'm not into wargames and will probably never find somone else with another field phone to try it.

[MrRedRooster]

well, i don't know if it's rare but obviously it's old and looks like it could tell some stories. the manufactory label inside is from 1942.

thanks for commenting

I believe I have that exact same phone, if not its real close because it looks identical to the one you have there...I found it buried in a field when I was a kid and have kept it ever since...I've always wondered if it was worth anything but after reading your comments it sounds like its not worth shit.....

[littlebro05]

You should of kept it the way it was and sell it on "Antique Roadshow" XD.

Lots of would pay heaps for it.

I have the other unit, we could have talked :)

It's a cool mod, but I can just imagine someone buying it once you die, though.. "What a shame that someone put all of this obsolete technology in a nice old field phone"
