Audio Guestbook Phone
A restored rotary phone that starts recording when a guest lifts the handset. It runs off a USB-C power bank, so it can sit anywhere in the room without a cord across the floor.

Before you book
- · Battery only. Nothing on this item plugs into the wall, which is exactly why we can own it rather than sub-rent it.
- · The power bank is good for about eight hours from a full charge.
- · Keep it away from the speakers. Anything within about 5 m of a subwoofer records mostly bass.
- · Indoor use only. The handset is not weather sealed.
- · We own two. On a busy Saturday that is the ceiling.
Questions people actually ask
Can we pick this up ourselves? +
Yes. It is a one person, ten minute setup, it weighs 3 kg packed, and it is one of the six items small enough to go by courier inside 16 km.
Does it need an outlet? +
No. It runs off a power bank, which is good for about eight hours from a full charge.
When do we get the recordings? +
After the event. Each message comes back as its own audio file, and we do not edit or stitch them.

Completes the look
A slanted brushed metal lectern at signing height with a shelf underneath for pens and a small sign. It pairs with a book, the audio phone or a print station.
A locking acrylic box with a card slot in the top and a small frame on the front for a sign. Both keys go to you at delivery.
A 60 by 90 cm panel on an easel for the entry, lettered in your wording in our own shop and stripped back to a blank after the event. Choose clear, frosted or mirror acrylic.
