The video showed my second employer SE or Sterling Electronics, distributor of Motorola transistors back in the early 70s. I still have some SE stickers. Brings back memorys. KD5YVQ

It was a car mobile phone that they put in a carry bag with a 12 volt battery and an antenna. Used to take it everywhere. Then Motorola came out with that phone that looked like a military radio. I never had one of them. I started on the next generation before the flip phone. Then flip phone and on and on. 73...bruce On 11/8/2017 5:17 AM, D.

A friend who serviced photo finishing equipment used one of the predecessors to the flip phone in the mid 1980's, likely the clunky ni-cad powered model made before the Razor flip phone. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFsAr8okbpw> 73 Howard Bingham KE5APJ -- D.
