"Professor Nigel Linge from the University of Salford is on the hunt for anything from 1980s 'brick'-style mobiles to 1960s dial phones, and beyond. He is looking to expand the University's collection of historic telephones, which includes several early mobile phones, old BT exchange parts and a morse code telegraph sounder from the early 1900s."
