AnsaFone Model KH-90CD Answering Machine

Posted on August 24, 2013 by poppipix

This Vintage AnsaFone Model KH-90CD Answering Machine was invented by Kazuo Hashimoto. Some essential parts are missing, so at this point this is not a working model.

I’m in the process of trying to learn the precise year that this particular model was produced. From what I’ve been able to find out through the web, it seems to be the last AnsaFone with this design, which beginning in 1960, was the 1st commercially successful answering machine marketed in the U.S.

The U.S. patent for the AnsaFone was granted in 1968 & this machine has a label that reads ‘patent pending’, so I know that it was produced at some point between ’60 & ’68.

I’m also trying to find out exactly how this version of the AnsaFone operated, so any info. would be appreciated. : ))

There is an awesome video on youtube which shows how the KH-85 model works at ~~~>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTcyKU6b64A
