Butt sets for sale (collectibles) - 03/06/06 12:25 PM
I have two AT&T "dog bone" butt sets with a built-in modem and terminal screen that were used by Bell technicians back in the 1980's. I originally bought them thinking I could use the terminal/modem for system programming, but it's not what I thought.
Both are new, with all batteries, adapters, cord sets and manuals. The cords are absolutely perfect.
One is the traditional yellow one with the joystick screen navigator. There is a 1" scratch on the face of the display screen that occurred when I had it on my belt and I bumped into something. It was used for about a week.
The other is the black deluxe (XL) water-resistant version with a push-type navigator control and a true on-off switch. It has never been used other than to try it out. It also has a hard plastic case with foam inserts to carry it.
Both of these are really more collector's items for Bell System enthusiasts/historians than realistic butt sets. They have a lot of value to me for this reason, but I just need to make some room. Before I hit e-bay with them, is anyone interested in either of them?
