Benjamin, Welcome to the wonderful wacky world of antique telephones. I can supply you with some phones and other parts to get you started. I have been working on these systems for 50 years, so I can get you going in the right direction. Please email me at your convenience info (at) SIBTA (dot) com I also suggest that you join one or both of these clubs: www.atcaonline.com www.telephonecollectors.org

Welcome, Ben!
Well, you bought the system so you must have had some idea of what you were buying. Forget about what you don't know about the system, what do you know about it. Tell us that and we'll try to point you in the right direction...

i know:
it was pulled from service from an american family insruance company becuase the case says so!
it is only compatible with the 5 line phones
its ITT model 501A it has no KTU's
i know they had a 1A2 system @ WJM on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Mr. Grant had a call director
it uses 25 pair cable
i have a rough idea as to the way i want it set up
i know what a CO PBX KTU is
thats about it

OK. A couple of questions:
Do you know how to terminate 25 pair cable?
Do you have a basic knowledge of electricity.
Do you know anything about telephones in general?
