[Electronics-Talk] Talking Call Waiting Device

[Andy Baracco]

Classco did make a model called the 9900CW. Perhaps you can find one on 
Ebay. I thought my old Classco died, so I bought the Emerson but before I 
set it up, the Classco came back from the dead, so I am keeping the Emerson 
in reserve.
