Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a prime example of a standard oversized training device utilized in a classroom environment for radio operators. With its size, the device would have been placed in a central location, allowing the entire class to witness the subject matter expert (SME) describe the function of each component with ease and clarity.

The TA-312/PT is an analog, 2-wire and battery-operated field phone that was introduced to replace and interoperate with EE-8 field phones used during World War II and the Korean War. It was known for its rugged and reliable nature, and was widely used from the 1950s through the 1980s, until it was replaced by the TA-838 analog field phone. Despite being superseded, TA-312's are still in isolated use by the U.S. forces and many allied countries. They are often referred to as the "Cadillac of Field Phones". When paired with U.S. G.I. Telephone Cable, these phones are designed to operate dry for over 20 miles.

This training equipment is in pristine condition with unmistakable markings and all controls operating flawlessly as designed. The bottom panel was not removed, but we believe that there are no electronic components inside, despite the initial appearance and the wire attached to the handset.

This display item is of exceptional quality, meticulously crafted and carefully curated to meet the highest standards of collectors. Whether you are a history buff, a collector, or simply a curious enthusiast, this item is sure to spark your interest and provide you with an exciting opportunity to learn more about its unique history and significance. It is a great piece that will undoubtedly stand out in any collection and make a lasting impression on all who see it.
