An extraordinary MIDIbox SID made by Bill
More pictures of his DIY stuff can be found under
hehe, now that is off the hook! ;p very imaginative 
Is the receiver/handpiece the power switch?
Great recycling going on there
Kinda looks like you have fitted a caller ID display.
Can you hear the sid in the handset?
Would be fun if you could actually hook the phone up and play sid songs over the phone line to your friends ;D
Really cool design! ;D
Would´ve never come to *such* an idea! Reeeeeaally cool idea!!
Can you make a photo of the inside? ;)
thank you !
I must take more photos, to see the ‘inside’, but i’m not sure this is very interesting, cause it’s a ‘simple’ core module, a mos6581 board, and a minimal control surface. On the other hand, the ‘phone box layout’ is excelent, and the plastic is very thick and solid. (i recomend ;))
I have another telephone like this, but a orange one, good old sixty style, so i must build another one (with a different chip), more fancy ;D
The telephone do not work as a telephone anymore.
The sound do not go out of the handset. (yet 
But the handset mic is wired, so i can use it with my vocoder, then it’s even more funny. The mic is nice, it produce kind of a good ‘saturation’, but need a ‘phantom power supply’.
Here is a track where you can hear it, as the ring modulated SID (starting at 0’10), next to a atariST ym, C64 samples, and a bassStation : http://pierre.boquet.free.fr/mp3/electrochips.mp3
