Unknown if anything is running off of it still, I got electrically zapped when trying to open the cover so I did not go any further

LOL...I have a pair of 133 KV linemen's gloves. You wanna borrow them?
Seriously, if you got a jolt, then, no matter what is running in the cabinet, find the power cord and unplug it. Then, with power removed, open the lid and find out what is causing the problem. You may have a potential "life-safety" issue there.

I only did one job in this building 2-3 years ago, this was the second floor closet and I was trying to find the demarc for my customer's suite. If I ever go back there I will have to investigate further

Open it up, who knows what gems you'll find inside?

Found a guy locally through another forum who was an ex-Telco installer/ maintainer, who managed to score the exact 10A2 KSU I need and the B.C. Tel-ized GTE 10A2 manuals as well. It's like Christmas! Once we finally cross paths and I set the system up, I'll take some pics in case anyone wants to compare the WE, NE and GTE/AE versions of the same KSU down the road.
It's going to be hooked up with some GTE Type 186s like I had originally decades ago, and at least one of the Government model Northern Electric 564s as well. Bit surprised to see that NE supplied so much to Uncle for Government 1A2 systems on base. I thought they would've purchased strictly WE or GTE. A bunch of the NE 564s have been showing up brand-new-in-box lately, so some forgotten Indiana Jones-ish warehouse must've suddenly disgorged its contents in some surplus sale.

Is this gray unit a VCA? ![[Linked Image from i1246.photobucket.com]](https://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/gg619/jefflocks/0A9D1794-B0A1-485A-807A-3C893B06974A_zpsrriy9kmd.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i1246.photobucket.com]](https://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/gg619/jefflocks/3846F038-DDAD-4D3D-A3A5-3571C7639296_zpslcalo2ap.jpg)

Good Heavens. That last photo is a nightmare. There are no two items installed in the same horizontal or vertical plane. Nothing level or plumb. Things squeezed on top of each other with lots of backboard space elsewhere. What were they smoking?

Jeff -
Pulsecom made, As I Recall, Transmission equipment. All types. Could be a channel bank (you've got T-1s termed below it, so that's a distinct possibility).
And yes, Arthur - the install is horrific.

Arthur, that is a result of 35 years of incompetence and neglect. The funny part is that on the left wall there is a whole field of blue, red, and yellow boards barely in use. Sam, the T1s are not connected to that equipment - they are much newer. Next time I am there, I will try to see what is marked on the top of the unit, there are a couple cards in there. PS - notice the "JEFF MOSS" marking on the orange cover, no relation to me

Looks like it was just haphazardly expanded over the years, and subsequent installers just referenced earlier pieces of equipment for alignment vs. breaking out the spirit level and making everything else look wrong
