Field telephone from GDR production. It was manufactured from 1964 until about 1990. It is a classic MB principle, with the difference compared to most, that it uses the same insert as a microphone and as a earphone, instead of a carbon microphone. A transistor amplifier is used to achieve sufficient volume. The result is better voice transmission with less distortion.
