Fisher-Price Baby Monitor

This device was used by us in the 80s and 90s when our kids were small.  It was last used to monitor our dogs when they were pups.  They chewed up the cords so it was shelved until I rewired them this summer (2006).  I have the transmitter out in the cabin window to listen to crickets, frogs, and the wind chimes at night.

Description: This electronic listening system allows parents to hear and "see" baby sleeping or playing in another room. The receiver has a variable sound display that displays sounds . . . the louder the sound, the more lights light up. Both the transmitter and receiver were sold with adapters, but they also have a low battery indicator if using batteries. UL listed.
