RARE, VINTAGE 1983 MOTOROLA OPTRX PAGER! WITH BELT CLIP/HOLSTER
Hello, up for sale is a relatively rare Motorola OPTRX pager from 1983, that was part of a messaging system, where a messenger could type a message and send it to multiple pagers. This pager used forward error correction to make it reliable, it was small for the time and advertised as a pager that was able to be put in your pocket, it was featured in ads during the 1984 Olympics, and it could store four messages a...t a time. The OPTRX was among the first portable pagers and would lead to a new industry of mobile communications in the 80s, 90s, and beyond.
The Motorola StarTAC and the iPhone 4 are not included but are pictured to show scale, this pager is bigger than both of them! I'm not sure if it powers up, it takes a special 1.3-volt battery, the back battery door and the belt clip/holster is included. Other than that, this little 37-year-old pager is in great shape and will be a great addition to your collection!
