Modern Mechanix Round-UP

xlg_wire_tappers_0.jpg

Today on Modern Mechanix we look back to a simpler time when earstwhile wiretappers only needed a pair of vampire clips and a contact microphone to do their job instead of a bevy of wireless digital network sniffers. I imagine they also wouldn’t have any trouble listening in on this cordless phone from 1970. It looks like it is just a standard bell telephone spliced onto a rather bulky radio base station. We also looked at Lady Nora Docker’s pimped out 1956 Daimler complete with genuine zebra skin interior, a test to see if couples about to be married are compatible with one another, a cure for the cross-eyed and learned how to build your own very own Meditation thingy. Note: Meditation thingy is defined as a giant 12 sided plywood fort plastered with magazine pictures (or pholaged if you want to get fancy) that one gets inside to gently rock themselves to sleep while dreaming of a better world.
