Got this piccy off the net of this early 80's gem... the work supplied one I used had a painted red metal base where the battery went not black plastic, standby if you left it on was about 3 hours, talk time almost 20 minutes on a cold Melbourne day if you were lucky. Weighed about 5kgs.

+1 - so much cooler than the brick phone!

Until of course you put the fat batter on it as the thin one was useless...

Mine pre-dated the LCD screen in the pic and had a horrible orange segment screen:

Mine was way cooler than that. It was a brick phone but a Mitsubishi Delegate. (Can't find a pic.) It cost me $2,000 at the time but I got reception and transmission 30 miles out to sea.

Analogue was great and I don't think even today digital will give you that kind of range.
