Vintage Audiovox Transportable Cell Phone – Restored and Ready for Display

At Lillypad Restoration, we specialize in breathing new life into vintage pieces, and our latest find is a true relic of early mobile communication: the Audiovox Transportable Cell Phone.
This iconic "bag phone" was the go-to mobile device in the late 1980s and early 1990s, long before smartphones became commonplace. Often used in vehicles due to its size and power needs, it represents the cutting edge of mobile technology from a time when portability was just beginning to take off.

Restoration Details:

• Exterior: The phone's durable plastic casing has been carefully cleaned and polished, restoring its original shine while maintaining its authentic vintage look.
• Functionality: We’ve tested the phone with both an external 12VDC power source and its internal battery, and we’re happy to report that it powers up successfully. While it’s no longer compatible with modern cellular networks, it remains fully functional as a collectible and display piece.
• Accessories: Complete with its handset, numeric keypad, and external antenna, this piece still retains all of the essential parts that made it a groundbreaking technology.
