old 1A? question

[macphoneguy]

hopefully there are a few old timers out there who can answer this question, I have a Old KSU, it is about the width & depth of a old ITT 512 KSU, but the cards are different, there is some 400 series line cards but the other KTU's are K165A, K165B, K163B, K168A, K168B, K166B, K160A & K160B it doesn't have a interruptor motor like the regular 501/512/584 panels did, there are some 25 pair amp connectors on the back panel, and a "standard" Eglin Electronics Power supply, can anyone tell me the pin outs or what this "boat anchor" is called ? is there any market for this other then perhaps collectors, i.e. be nice taking it down or trash it,
thanks in advance

I believe that is the ITT K76A CallAnnouncer system. It was ITT's version of the WECO Comkey, but not interchangeable. The K76A came in two sizes, if I remember correctly. I have the practices somewhere. You could use 6, 10, or 20 button sets with external CallAnnouncer speakers, or 10 and 20 button sets with built-in CallAnnouncers. It worked OK for what it was.

You might find a collector on Ebay for it.

i would trash it or use it for sighting in a good deer riffle
now if you had the Andy Griffith phone i would keep it

because of rules about enviromental disposal I have to follow I removed all the cards, and the power supply and threw the ksu in a scrap metal bin, for the PC boards they are in the pile for he next trip to the re-cycler, not much call for keeping something like that around
