No making fun of vacuum tubes, please.
Sam They were called Ericaphones. I think I have one somewhere. I worked for Ericsson in the late 70's early 80's in Canada back when they were an interconnect.

Marv -
So the phones were "Ericaphones". Was Ringmaster another set of phones they offered? I was pretty sure that it was an Ericsson product, but it was a real long time ago.
Ericsson = great Xbar
