Cheap Deuce Cab Intercom

After driving home with my son from Weare for 4+ hrs
without being able to hear one another, We decided it was time
for a cheap intercom for the M35A2. Another GMMVC'er has a set of aviation headsets + the com unit, beautiful but beyond my budget. Mr Waterman at MVMVC described using an old CB in PA mode, which works well; I think I found an even simpler alternative - 2 noise-canceling headsets at radioshack
($20 a piece includes ear bud and throat mike), a $10 "mini-amplifier", 4 batteries, and 2 y-connectors. 2 mike plugs go into one Y, into the amp input, amp output into a y and out to the two earbud plugs. Total expense about $60.

Not elegant but it gets the job done! I was going to
build my own IC, but this is quick and it works. Bash away!!
