Soviet phone handset with Bluetooth

This Soviet-era 1960s telephone handset is the latest outsized antique comedy handset to be outfitted with Bluetooth for use with ultramodern mobile phones. Looks like a one-off art project and not a mass market item, though God knows there's a lot of old Soviet phone equipment out there. Link (Thanks, James!)

I have the Retro Handset, but I'm considering trying to modify it to resemble this gloriously clunkier Soviet model, it has a certain excessive bulk and slight complexity that I've always been a fan of.

I have never used a Soviet phone handset, but maybe these bluetooth handset mods can be more than just novelty items. The ergonomics of my 1960's Bell System telephone handset are far superior to my wireless phone.

I do want one of these *A Lot*! Although I will thank you for pointing me to the ThinkGeek bluetooth retro handset which may fit the bill in the meantime.

If there is a God, a Jesus, or even a Flying Spaghetti Monster, then MARK F. will have a video of how to MAKE this in time for Christmas/Fitzmas/Solstice/Hannukah/Kwanzzah/Goalongwiththeholidayspiritcakes.

Personally, I'm praying to the FSM.
(C'mon, Mark!)
