Hal,

Do you really think I should reuse something that is 40+ years old? I figured since I have to do this, I might as well go all the way and just replace everything but the wire itself. No?

Re; Pic A - Keep in mind that each of those 25 pair cables (except for the cross-connect back to the 1A2) is going to ONE STATION per cable. I planned on just trimming all but the two pairs I need and consolidating on a single 66 Block (has enough room for the needs of this job).

I always try to keep it as simple as possible... an old IT habit I suppose.

Correction: I incorrectly stated that "block" was a patch. Whoops. My bad.
