I, too, am a huge fan (from a nostalgia/cool factor standpoint) of the 1A2 systems, and an even bigger fan of the people who understand them!
About ten years ago I worked briefly with a guy who had served time with bell in the Atlanta area. I drooled over his neatly ring-bound and organized collection of Bell System Practices. There was some incredibly awsome stuff out there back in the day.
About as far back as I can go is the early 80s. I'm just now finally letting go of my Northern Telecom SL-1, because I really want caller ID. That system was intimidating at first, but it all makes sense when you take the time to learn it. On the other hand, I'm baffled by the mechanics of the 1A2 systems, and I have an incredible amount of respect for the people who had to master that stuff.
