As an old telephone collector (not me) who has several barns full of old phone stuff likes to say "Need has nothing to do with it."

Absolutely, Arthur! We would always make our own matrix blocks. The big decision always was - do you do them by phone or by line? As I recall, it depended on the circumstance. I knew one guy who would always order B-3-75 blocks and take them apart to remove the middle set of pins. I always had trouble with the backs not staying on, so I didn't do that.

Well, I'll be dipped in donkey dust.
The Ebay seller, with whom I've had lots of successful interactions, has cancelled the order. I got a refund. The lame explanation is "Sorry, they are out of stock."
Right. Somebody saw how cheap the final price was and "interfered" with the transaction by offering more money, is my guess. Oh well, like the man said, I can make my own. But it would have been nice to have a commercial version, all stamped and everything.

I liked the mounting panel that Tone Commander made for their intercoms (I'm sure it was compatible with other brands). It was fashioned in the form and footprint of a 641/642 modular panel. It had two positions, each with an internal 25 pair tail, so one of their other units could also be installed. It even had the yellow cross connect field and Burndy cord. I never saw them in the flesh, only in catalogs. I'm guessing they were mighty expensive.
