Vintage Minicord Wire Recorder With Hanhart Chrono Microphone Watch Spy Gear CIA
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:531235 |
Condition: This set is estate fresh and has wear from use and age. This recorder and accessories come in the original Minicord box. These recorders were popular with the Cia and other spy organizations and is very similar to the Minifon model. The recorder in this set does not currently work and will need some work done to it or left as a display piece. Someone took the screws out of the main componen...t part inside but the screws are inside the box. The little silver pin part apparently needs to be soldered back inside. The case has some internal issues and I have pictured them so please view these photos. The hinges also have some damage but are still present. The lot includes a super rare Hanhart chronograph wrist watch but its not a watch. Its a small microphone concealed inside a watch. This piece is in good shape and has its band still. There is some light wear on the case but the crystal is in good shape and is not cracked and the input wire is present. THIS IS NOT A FUNCTIONING WATCH. The lot also includes a small Turner crystal mic to use instead of the watch. This item is not damaged and is in good shape. There is another piece that I do not know what it is but has the cord cut. It looks like an earbud but its not one. Im not sure. The box has light wear but is in good presentable shape and is not falling apart. I did not test any of these items and are being sold as is for display. Do not let this get away as this is a rare piece of cold war spy technology.
