:: I’m sure I’ve seen these teller microphones at the Bank of China hundreds of times, but only today did I notice how incredibly retro and well designed they are. Look at it. The 1970s style “on / off” switch, the oversized red power light, the “talk” and “listen” knobs, the screw-head wire connectors – just great! And the whole thing is made of steal steel, even the oval-shaped speaker grill. Wow. This device will last a hundred years. Made by a Shanghainese company called Gladwyn (上海朋源). Very cool. // AjS

Quote – “And the whole thing is made of steal”
Is that a typo, or is it a subliminal message from your psyche telling us that you want one?
