Old 1A2 stuff

[macphoneguy]

is there any Market for Older 1A2 stuff Like 400 series Line cards, Western electric 620A panels, ITT's 512 KSU, 501, 601 Etc series not to mention the Various 6 btn, 10 Btn, 20 & 30 Button sets of the Desk and wall mount variety by Western/ATT/ITT when you get this in trade in, are most of you putting it in the Junk Heap or is there some other "Buyer"- Auction site,

I occasionally see stuff on eBay, and several vendors still list the stuff in their catalogs, but hard to imagine it's being sold.

Anyone know where to get on-line docs for 1A2? I'd love to have them for nostalgia.

its a supply and demand thing .huge supply.. little demand.

I do know what you mean Skip555,
If you want to Buy a 1a2 manual it looks like Quick-manuals.com still lists them for $15 doesn't look like anybody Else does, it looks like I'm Going to have some "new/Old" door Stops, or Perhaps I might let somebody take them "Apart" with a BFH, putting what left in the proper Re-cycling Bin

Save the power supplies as they are great for ring generators for systems that need it for single line stations.

 

[skip555]

the intercoms are also good for "specials"

ive used 1a2 intercoms along with ringing power supplies (they dont all offer ring voltage } to power up some in house intercoms where access to outside lines wasnt needed or wanted and the nice thing is you can use a cheepo phone

I had a collection that found its way to a dumpster.
Wasn't worth the time or effort.

Macphoneguy said If you want to Buy a 1a2 manual it looks like Quick-manuals.com still lists them for $15, but checking there, they only have some ITT manuals, and not much. $15 get you a 27 page guide. I used to have the old Bell System Practices books, about 200 pages each, with detailed illustrations etc. Wish I had kept them.

If anyone runs across these, paper or electronic, drop me a note please. << john PREFERS NO SPAM jshelton com >>. Thanks for supporting nostalgia. If I get paper, someday I could run it through my ADF scanner and post somewhere.

Anything you find will be at least 15 to 20 years old.
