Happy Halloween!

A real Frankenphone! Northern Telecom Goulie Phone prototype.

Audio is a bit mushy. What could cause that? It was left by a seedy character, who appeared to be somewhat out of his gourd. These are designed to be hidden throughout pumpkin patches of the world to facilitate communications for the undead on October 31st.  Communications via aethernet. Sorry, I've got altogether too much time on my hands today :)

I kinda like it, sorry!

A pumpkin with a dial on it, appeals to my sense of humour (humor).
"now this should take five minutes, where's me screwdriver went now..?"

Dave, next year you need to find a smaller white pumpkin and hollow it out and put a light inside. Then get a white handset and insert a dial from a 701 or 702 and call it your Pumpkin Princess.  :)

I would leave it as found without a refurb ... it has a nice patina to go with the scary nose and ear. No doubt on Ebay is a plastic replica of this original going for big dollars.
Its starting to turn soft and smell. Maybe it is soft plastic?  ;D

How about a skull with a dial on the forehead, and a cavity on the cranium for the handset, that'd be so cool!

Dave has beat me to it, that's that patent application in the bin...

How about a phone built into a trouser-press...
