My Premier buttset is a North Supply original! Must be an antique! Is it worth anything? smile

Your Premier Buttset may become valuable before you die, but don't hold your breath, 'Cause then you'll die too soon! smile
Funny thing, various other outfits started selling Premier items in the late '90's. I bought a Premier buttset from American Electric in Salina, KS for less that I could buy it from NORTH SUPPLY. And they said that was their normal price! And their Connectorized 25 pr was Premier. Long live N/S, may they RIP. frown John C.

With your tone generator you can connect up to a dry pair and talk with your tech on the far end of a cable run. Just not to far.. wink

Simple is better in my opinion. I cant stand to have to many things happening at one time while testing lines.

I know a diode will work for that. Didn't know you could do that with a varistor.

Yeah Arthur the old ceramic covered ones from the early 1A1 and fifty equipment, and WRichey we almost always worked alone so did'nt need to talk to anyone but guys on the test board.Its amazing the test you can do with a butt set.

Sorry for the temporary side-track of a hijack, but:

True Jim. Most of today's technicians never had to troubleshoot over long distances by themselves. When I say long, I speak of miles, not a couple of floors in a building or between them. That's considered "long distances" by today's newer technicians. A couple thousand feet with a butt set, a meter and a moistened fingertip can speak volumes to an educated ear.

Now that I think about it, I still shake my head when I hear that two of my "technicians" will be required in a return visit run a single four-pair cable.

All I can think of is those years of running many 25/50 pair station cables, terminating them, placing sets and leaving them working by the end of the day by ourselves. If today's excuse for a technician only knew what real work is.

Until about ten years ago, it was not uncommon for one tech. to pull 10-20 four-pair cables by themselves. Now all I hear is whining about how much work that is. Wow, times surely have changed.

They all still expect to have state-of-the-art test equipment and butt sets though. Like they would even know how to really use them!
