The folks over at the museum make some great YouTube video content fairly often. You should really like it if you are interested in telecommunication history or how things worked .

Please take care of each other.

Tele-Trainer Update #2

.

The buttons make the ringing machine work with phones plugged in, however no ringer, dial tones or audio. Next step is to get the phones and speaker up and running.

Please take care of each other.

Tele-trainer Update #1

Over the weekend the new transformer was installed (left) and we open up the old one to see how bad it burned. The unit powered up but the ringer and tone circuits do not work. I will need to test the unit with the phones plugged in because I think that it will not operate without a complete looped circuit. Stay tuned.

Ohh and please take care of each other.
