I knew it wasn't the Winchester connector almost as soon as I posted my guess, but I just couldn't remember who's it was. I think Jeff got it (this time). Ed Vaughn, MBSWWYPBX

Beyond that, you're gonna need the schematic for your PBX. Weren't these cordboards site specific for each customer. Some general stuff was the same, but specific sites had specific needs that made each board just a liiitttllleee bit diferent. Kinda like the customer specific programming on today's key systems and epbx's! What goes around comes around! John C. When I was young, I was Liberal. As I aged and wised up, I became Conservative.

Of course upon looking that up, I find that refers to pretty much any giant boxy connector with any number of pins in it. As durable as they are, I'm thinking they must be whatever connected this board to its parent PBX. Without my schematic I'm not even sure yet I'll need to worry about them, but it would be nice to have the opposite gender connector in case I need to attach them to something.
