The WW2 style UC10s were still being overhauled by Valcom right into the early 80s I believe. Same goes for some of the second WW field phones. Not for regular or even reserve force use mind you, but for the army cadets.

I bought one of the old remote control units from United army surplus in Wpg sometime around 1978. The old sigs sgt at the FGH gave me a couple of those batteries.

I believe they were also used in the little field desk lamp that came in the wooden box. I have one of those somewhere downstairs, but sadly, someone beat me to the pair of batteries that were recently advertised on MLU.
