Holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, I want that.  I've always wanted on of the big WWII backpack radios with the fullsized headset, only modernized with todays cell phone technology.  This is going straight to the top of my wishlist.

I know we're talking about phones, but I have a Sonora KG-80 radio from 1940, "the first portable radio of the world" meaning it's not a 12kg backpack. Apparently it's in good shape and it should work, but I don't have skills or time to restore it properly.
