PANASONIC Easa-Phone Model KX-T1016

Circa 1980's

An accessory unit that connects to a separate single-line telephone to add hands-free speakerphone functionality.

Use Case:

Provides a convenient, hands-free conversation option for users in a home or office environment. Instead of holding the handset, users could use the built-in microphone and speaker for conference calls, taking notes, or multitasking during a call. It features controls for volume, muting the microphone, and turning the speaker on or off.

Historical Significance:

This device represents a trend in the 1980s towards modular and convenient telecommunication accessories. As home phones became more common and consumers sought advanced features, accessories like this speakerphone allowed users to upgrade their existing, basic telephones without replacing the entire unit. The "woodgrain" aesthetic was also very popular at the time, marking it as a distinctive vintage item from that period.

NOTE: 2-Units available.
