VEF ТА-12. Оживляем раритетный телефон с АОН

Приветствую всех!
Пожалуй, этот девайс стал одним из самых запоминающихся артефактов проводной телефонии. Именно на базе этого телефона было создано немалое количество определителей номера на процессорах КР580ВМ80А и Z80.

Так уж получилось, что ко мне в руки попал такой АОН. Как насчёт посмотреть, как он устроен, и вернуть его к жизни? Именно этим мы сейчас и займёмся.
