Found something cool in the thrift shop that
I've never seen before - a
Northern Telecom Displayphone (model NT6K00AM), ca. 1984.
Should you decide not to keep it, please let me know. I've been
passively looking for one of those for some time.
Coincidentally, there's another one sitting in WeirdStuff right now, but I
think it's got a $50 price tag on it (way too much, as is the case with
most of their stuff). It's in good condition though. But I'm sure the
power supply has been separated from it.
The only one I ever saw outside of a Northern Telecom
booth (no Nortel
back then!) was on the kitchen counter of a friend who worked at
Northern in Belleville, Ontario. She used it as a phone with a big
autodial directory, and to keep track of recipes. :-)
Neat. I knew it did more than just phone functions. I wish I could get
mine working.
