Motorola PULSAR 120

The Pulsar 120 is a control head only and not a completely new radio system. The Pulsar 100 and 120 control heads appear to have been cheaper alternatives to the Pulsar II control head and while sold during the Pulsar II production period could be retrofitted to the Pulsar I radio drawer via a new cable set. With mechanical manual channel switch selection and rotary dial (100) or pushbutton dial (120) these heads offered "no frills" operation with the basic Pulsar II chassis. They had no memory, no speaker phone and no digital displays. These heads were widely used by Bell operating companies such as Pacific Telephone. The escutcheons were available in either vertical or horizontal orientation to allow for mounting in various vehicle configurations. The vertical format was usually used in cars with a solid center console.
