Was the Northcom 1A3 PbX made by Nortel?

No, it was made by LG. It wasn't a PBX, it was just a small, economical key system.

I have a 70 year old dentist client who is having problems with his A13 key system. Some of the phones don't work. He expects to die soon, so he doesn't want to buy a new system. As a self-supporting phone tech, what would you do for him?

I know the A13 uses two pairs of wire, so installing a Partner system is one possibility. Another is to install plain old two-line phones. What do you think of these options? Any other suggestions?

I am betting he will out live the 1A3 system. It is junk. I have not seen parts for 10 years plus. If I were you I would get him to buy some cheap 2 line phones if he does not expect or need any system type feature.

My opinion anyway

It will support not only 1A3 phones, but also TIE Econo-Key sets. There are probably some available on the secondary market.

I would sell him a re-furbed partner or other small key system so he can keep phone system features

I have a Northcom 1A3 manual I can scan if you need. But basically it just connection the wires and ringing.

I would also vote to replace it with a Partner ACS.

There are many old system out there that would replace this. How many phones are needed and what system features do they use? If only a few phones and two lines I would recommend a new small key system which wouldn't be much more then a refurbed unit and give you modern features.

If it was built after 1980 don't expect it to work right.
