Got this beauty off eBay. I don't know anything about it but it's the only one I've seen. Any info is appreciated. The transmitter is dated 1963. $35BIN or make offer, I got it for $25 +shipping, seemed like a good deal to me.

Looks like BTMC Model 2872A magneto telephone from about 1960

Might have been used in Israel.

I have one, here in Norway it was used by the civil defence. Sometimes with a dial too.
