I'll post pics soon, but just wanted to say thanks to Arthur for pointing out my cross connect wiring error. I got done repunching it last night, and even though I only have 2 lines, I figured I'd punch all 4 and obviously the intercom.
Line positions 3 and 4 lit on some phones, not on others.
Because of the cross connects... it was a simple matter to see what was going where, and although I was tempted to break out a butt set and listen to see if I could hear 10 volts, I opted to use my high tech, fancy dancy, new fangled VOM.... easy process of elimination, had the problems repaired in about 10 minutes. Lesson learned: If you pull a lead from a terminal, make sure the terminal is completely free of old wire/insulation. Sounds obvious, I know, and I looked them over before repunching... but I missed a couple terminals.
Also the tip about keeping the cross connects loose came in handy; just gently pulled on the lead to see where it was going - so thanks to Sam et. al. for that.
More thanks to come. All you guys are fantastic.

And apologies to Ken, he taught me how to do cross connects when he was here, but I apparently forgot.
