    I thought you'd like to see this. While I was busy haggling for the Chalwyn lamp last Sunday, my girlfriend was hard at work negotiating a good price for this Plessey phone she'd fallen for. From what I can dig up on Google, the 'Pernas' was the Malaysian joint venture partner for Plessey during the sixties and early seventies, before everything fell apart as it became Marconi. I must admit she did a good job and got it for a song. It's purely a decorator piece as I've neither the skills nor inclination to rewire it to use with a modern telecom line. It needs a bit of TLC to bring it up to scratch, but with a few hours work, it'll be something we're both proud to display.
    Hope you guys like it. :)
