I've seen some frankenphones, but...

Post by 2Bdecided »

...this one takes the biscuit...

That's a creative use of an old radio horn, some green pain, and an HMV transfer!

Though the most creative thing is the price.

The case is reminiscent of a 1980s wardrobe.

Yet 5 people have made an offer on the thing!

Cheers,
David.
