I worked for a real gentleman at UCS named Dave Dragan. He was a class act, and I hope he went on to do well. I haven't heard about/from him in almost 30 years. Anybody ever run into him?

How about checking out our new "Telecom Reunions" thread started at the top of the Phone Booth category? We've already seen some success with old friends connecting again despite the fact that the thread has only been present for a few weeks. Give it a shot. You might be surprised!

Um, I need support on a Patrician?  Man, I remember riding with a guy at my 1st Interconnect job for an NEC dealer & he was the only one who knew how to work on those Electra 100's & Patricians... He always made me stand "outside" the equipment room when we were on a 100...said they were VERY tempremental... I cut my teeth on the Electra 616 & 16/48's......

If I remember correctly, the Patricians were like Tie 1030s and the early Iwatsus - almost 1A2.
The Electra 100s were tempremental -I seem to remember resolving a lot of the problems with them by running shielded cable for the station wire and grounding the shield at the equipment.
As I recall, the 16/48s were a real improvement, but i don't remember working on them much.

616 and 1648 were pretty good systems in their day. Heck, I had a 1648 in my house in KS. This happened in mid 90's and they were being thrown in the dumpster, but it just gave me PLENTY of spares!  John C. (Not Garand)

Sam,
A somewhat belated reply to your comment about Dave Dragan from UCS.Just got an email last month saying he was retiring, moving from Atlanta to some mountain in West Va with no cell service, no land lines, no catv. I started for UCS in 1973 also and worked for Dave. I remember when the Bronx Va was going on I was doing the VA in Augusta, Ga. Bell South did buy them. Were you ever involved with St Lukes/Roosevelt Hospitals install with IBEW#3?
