Dad had one but as things go it was given away too. There was also a outside speaker with it.

Yes we had one of these intercoms, and I still have it. I think dad got it when he bought the 800. He ran the wire out of the house, along the fence, crossed the road and followed grandpa's fence over to their house. Every day at lunch we would talk to them. I was very lucky, one grandpa lived on the other side of the barn, and the other grandparents lived across the field. Very few days went by without seeing one or all of them. This intercom was a predecessor of the cell phone, only a lot simpler. And my grandpa's both drove Cases!

Ken,

What great family history! You were very fortunate to be so close to your grandparents. Thanks for sharing this. Don
