Some of the early
Clear-Com products are still in active use; recently the service department received a King
Biscuit KB-100 (pictured and dating from the early 1970s) in for service. Charlie Butten, who co-designed the original circuitry for the
Clear-Com partyline intercom, is still with the company, and he repaired the
unit.
Also shown are the
Clear-Com RS-100 from the earlier 1970s and the popular metallic-finish RS-100A from the later 70s. You'll still see these units in the touring kits of sound and lighting companies. To date,
Clear-Com has sold about 300,000 beltpacks of various models since the end of the 1960s.
