Ran across these while visiting a Scottish Rite Temple this weekend and was wondering if anyone may know a little more about them.
Thought it was pretty neat, oh and they still work very well. It is used for internal communications through out the Temple.

Thanks,

That is interesting for sure Mike but way before my time.

On my first day in the business I was given an introduction to all of the older systems i might run into while selling / prospecting and this one is way before that too! I was trained to hone in on the phone on the desk immediately upon entering so I could determine whether it was an ancient old system or a new one. I still do that to this day!

Mike, I beleive, and I could be wrong, but I think that was used as door entry ways in apartment buildings. The apartments would have a single unit. Ring and talk back system.

Too cool, Mike! What Valley was this?
There is some old wiring here in Cleveland but they have a fairly new phone system (Toshiba)

Our lodge has no internal communication system, but I've been contemplating donating a nice looking Legend system. It would be convenient not to have to run up and down the steps so much.

We just switched from "Real" phone service to the cable company, and their box didn't put out enough voltage to ring our wall phone. It wasn't a trimline, but rather a boxy 500 wall set in what must have been (for the time) a lovely avocado green. I kept the set, it's not even modular.

That was the intercom system I had in elementary school. Push a button it buzzed the appropriate handset and you talked hold the wired earpiece to your ear and talk into a speaker BTW it was always live. And no privacy or else how would you know someone else was using it. Still cool though.
