I worked for Voycall in 1969-1970.
Their main products were then amplifiers and intercoms for Safeway and Lucky stores.
I guess what you have is a piece of their "new" intercom system.

They were used to making all their own parts, even some castings, when they finally realized they didnt need to reinvent the wheel endlessly and that telephone equipment was better than what they could make. their old equipment could "dial" only 10 remotes and they need much more for the new system so I assume they used a telephone dialer to access 100 or more addresses.

This was already a very old company which used to make the alarm bells in the old 1930s traffic signals which rang a bell every time the lights changed.
I looked on google and could find no trace of Voycall. I have seen that companies which existed only before the internet began, are now all but invisible.
I wouls like to see a picture of what you have. Voycall amplifiers show up on ebay occasionally

Welcome aboard, but this topic is nearly 4 years old. Putting it to bed.
