From Telephone Collectors

[Linked Image from pictures.getcreativenow.com]

the collector is asking "what system was this console used in?"

Attendant console for a 756 PBX.

And it probably still works as well as it did the day it was installed.

Jeff, thanks for the compliment, but Arthur holds the title of 'most knowledgeable' with regard to this stuff. I'd be happy if I could remember half of the things that he's forgotten.

Ed, I only remember the unimportant stuff.

As Mark Twain said, regarding getting old and forgetful:

"At my age, my memory has improved to the point that now I can remember things that didn't even happen."

Upon further review, it has 70 DSS keys. The 756 would have 80.

It has no supervisory lamps next to the line keys, so it's not from a PBX.

We think it's a supervisory console for "general service" use. These were used in various central office or business office applications. The big red lamp at the left is a signal that lights when a subordinate needs attention.

It probably had a "5-finger" (125-pair) mounting cord.

I like the frowny face above the red lamp!

A "Mr Yuk!" sticker from the early 70's promoting a poison control telephone number.

Art,

Didn't they drop the violets out of the multi fingered cables?
