Praise be to eBay…the best source for military goodies since I bought that duffel bag of M16 magazines out of the back of a guys Citation in the Domino’s parking lot.

Commander Zeros Ultimate Dream Home (Rancho Ballistica) will have need for these things. The TA312 is the phone you used to see on M*A*S*H that radar would wind the crank on and yell “Sparky?”. You hook it up to some two strand wire and you have telephone communications between two points. Just the ticket for communications between the main house and the observation posts or the locked front gate waaaaaaaaay down the road. Best of all, its about $40 for the pair and another $9 for the Technical Manual. This is good. I’ll test ’em out, clean em up, lay in a half mile of wire and secure them in the bunker. Will probably get another couple of them for parts and extras…..

They should be just the ticket for people at the gate letting me know theyre there. (And believe me, when you come onto Commander Zero’s property you do not want him to not know youre there….)

Next up: personal radio comms.
