Further useful information
May. 6th, 2023 10:36 pmIn further news about relevant and useful accessories for anyone's life that can be had on Ebay, it turns out you can buy just about any type of actual vintage spy gear you can think of. (Except, probably, weapons. I didn't try looking that up.) I guess it's not surprising that you can easily buy these things now, since anyone with a cell phone has access to camera and recording technology that 1950s spies could only dream of.
Still, there are all the tiny 1950s-era spy cameras you could want (affordably priced, too!), as well as weirder stuff like phone tapping equipment, a reel-to-reel tape recorder hidden in a fake book (not well hidden, since it says "recorder" on it - or maybe that's just the case and it's sized to fit in a book?), and a $1500 clandestine wire recording setup including a microphone hidden in an actually very convincing fake watch. (Edit: or how about a $4800 working recorder + microphone hidden in a doctor's bag complete with fake instruments.)
