Vintage Soviet phone Bluetooth mod

bovbthandset.jpg

There aren't many things worse than being one of "those guys." You know that guy, wearing his Bluetooth headset all day and giving the impression that he is talking to no one. This is probably one step worse. Talking into a vintage telephone handset that isn't attached to anything will radiate lunacy a bit more than the traditional Bluetooth headset.

This is an authentic and what appears to be used 1960s Soviet army phone retrofitted with Bluetooth technology for linking with a mobile phone. What makes the phone ever better is that all of the internal wiring for the Bluetooth module was done using wires and titanium from a dismantled Scud missile. It includes all of the necessary buttons for operation and even a blue blinking LED so you can still be "that guy," at least a little bit.
