Jeff -

While digging around in the dreaded basement I found one of those units. It's not exactly the same - it's surface mount, not recessed and has the bell on top and the receiver on the side. It's by "Loeffler" and not Connecticut, but I'm sure they're identical inside.

As Arthur said - DC to talk, AC to signal. I took this one off the wall of a Doctor's office on Central Park West. He had an office on the ground floor of an apartment building and this was the intercom to the front door.

He hated the look of this unit. He thought it made the office look old and frumpy. I was installing a 1A2 system and I tested the unit. I replaced it with a new 554 set with a 10 or 18v 1A2 system buzzer (I forget which). It worked fine.

At one time I had it hooked up as an "answer only" extension in the house. It worked then (33 years ago) and probably still does. If you want it, it's yours for postage.

If I can get it together I'll send you a picture.
