I purchased this auction for the old headset for a project. It turns out it had a near perfect tone receiver (wand), three headset receivers and two additional condensers plus the headset body. This was a steal.

I have never seen condensers on these, any info is appreciated. The brass receiver is dated 2/30. ...Doug

The condenser was to block DC current so you would not seize the line. Same as the monitor function on a butt set.you could listen for noise or conversations with out interfering

Yes, Doug, that was indeed a great steal deal . . .

Head sets don't seem to get much respect, price wise.
I bought a similar set some time ago for around $10 delivered.
But without capacitors,  8)

Karl...I do agree...BUT when you get a Property of American Tel and Tel dated 2/30, eighty five years old and  it works, looks like it was made yesterday....they gain a tad of respect. This was more than I ever hoped for....Doug
