[@knoptop]

a few more years and all my gear will be 100 yr old tech 😅

[@Michael-pp8lz]

that microphone sounds better than some microphones sold in 2020

[@CrankyCoder]

that was way cooler than i expected it to be! I love old vintage stuff like that. ESPECIALLY audio.

[@Tmansgokarts]

LOL, yeah knoptop, back in the day that was a novelty item for radio Amateur (ham radio) for what is known as CW (continuous wave) ie, Morse code. . if it was late at night they would hold that up to their ear so it wouldn't wake up the house. One hand holding the phone and the other hand working the keyer.

[@Willielikesmonkeys]

There is technically* no difference between a diaphragm to produce sound, and one to absorb it. The difference is in what you plug it in to. You can actually test this yourself by plugging a pair of headphones into the microphone input on your PC and speak into it. You'll need to record with a program like audacity though so you can amplify it a bit since it's not optimized for being used as a microphone, but it does work.

[@kenbest7660]

Sounds like an old radio broadcast. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@CrizDuncn]

Yo that's sick. I love old equipment it looks so cool

[@knoptop]

Awesome! Thanks for checkin' out the vid!

[@birdie399]

Not only looks good but works too. Thanks for the video.

[@tucker934]

Those piezoelectric parts are very interesting to solder you got it to work with little research that’s big, I’m self taught in electronics for quite some time now and enjoy every bit of it, live my 100 year old head phones, the crystal radio it’s self is a very interesting device if anyone is curious!

[@SolidStateWorkshop]

You have the coolest video style. Very funny, very informative.

[@chshrkt]

Well done sir! At first, I thought the rattling was carbon granules, like they used to have in old telephone handsets.

[@OneCheapEric]

Cool find my dude! Has a very unique sound incoming and outgoing.

[@NotAloneStudios]

That's cool, it does more like a mic though.

[@RATsnak3]

it isnt a mic.

Imagine 100years back ppl. seeing their back then cutting edge tech in a 2024 YT influencer montage 😂

[@drillthrallable]

Knop of the Top of the Pops! Another great video, my friend. So cool. Wonder what it would take to turn that into a wireless mic and speaker? Heck, re-purpose it and call it The MagiWand. MagiWand! 1923's all new recordo-speaker. Wow family and neighbors with the MagiWand. Sold at all local Walgreens stores. $4.

[@bitcoinbusker]

You need to speak in a transatlantic accent for old time authenticity. Old movie reel style.

[@RATsnak3]

this was almost certainly a headphone from the 40s. "Lorgnette Receiver BA-200" from brush. www.radiomuseum.org/r/brush_lorgnette_receiver_ba_200.html

[@DeadKoby]

A piezo can be a speaker or a mic........... pretty versatile.

[@SweetLouPhotography]

PLEASE use that mic for the next podcast hahahahah. That friggen blue screen was sick man! Lookin sharp af in that suit brother man.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

And I thought I needed plugins to get that telephone audio sound! Ha! 😀😀😀

[@ImTheDaveman]

I gotta say - DOOOD! Dat izzzz so stanking Awesome!!! I love seeing old ded stuff resurrected Dr. Frankenstein's Monster Style!!! Yessssss! But still, if there coulda been a way to fix it old school, capturing time and all that is more awesome. Oh well., sometimes we just gotta do whatever to make it do something. And that's cool. And I agree - I think its a Microphone.
