And yes, it was so much fun to work all weekend, drinking Coors, punching down 25 -50 and 100 pair cables, wiring BLF phones and diode matrix ringing, or how bout those wonderful Talback intercoms, high tech in 83!!

You could trace the circuit across the room as the relays closed with a "clack" noise. THAT'S old! Learning "make and break" circuits made learning and understanding 1A2 simple. Now we're swimming in VOIP! It's funny to look at old sets and people can't remember what they are-like this "brick-like 5 button set" - https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11909&item=5711538133&rd=1
