Item Description
Original Item: Only One Set of Two available. This is an original set of two Vietnam War Era U.S. TA-312/PT Field Telephone Sets, complete in their original CY-1277B/PT carry cases. This equipment has not been tested by IMA but we were told that they are functional. However, we will not guarantee functionality. These were sold as surplus, and do not appear to have seen extensive service.
One still has it's original data plate, which reads:
TELEPHONE SET TA-312/PT
SERIAL NO. 80645
SPECIALITY ELECTRONICS
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
ORDER-NO. FR-36-039-N-6-31639
U.S.
The second example is missing the data plate completely. The contract number on the first does not give any indication of when it was produced.
As stated before, they both really are in nice shape. All the knobs and buttons are intact and seem to work, and the side cranks turn smoothly. The cases are in nice used condition, with legible markings. Both have functional zippers and intact functional carry straps.
The analog, 2-wire, battery operated TA-312/PT replaced and will interoperate with the World War II and Korean War EE-8 field phones. The rugged and reliable TA-312 was used from the 1950s through the 1980s before being superceded by the TA-838 analog field phone. TA-312's continue in use throughout the U.S. forces as well as many allied countries. Many call these the "Cadillac of Field Phones." These were designed to have a dry operating range of over 20 miles when paired with U.S. G.I. Telephone Cable.
