Wanted: TIE Communications Ultracom AT 8/16 or Businesscom Plus 8/12 KSU System

[N4YQT]

Wanted: TIE Communications Ultracom AT 8/16 or Businesscom Plus 8/12 KSU (white rectangular housing and it's power supply) and at least one display set for either system.

I'm planning to build a small, vintage, electronic key system demonstrator display to be shown at museums and shows.

I know that this is a long shot but you might have one laying around or know of one still hanging on the wall somewhere collecting dust.

I used to work on TIE equipment, among other makes, throughout the 80s & early 90s and I still have the manuals for them, too.

Thank you for your time, help and cooperation.

Fred

Picture below is for showing what the sets look like.

I used to install a ton of those back in the days shortly after Ma Bell was split up. Last one I saw running was over a decade ago though. Have you tried searching Ebay?

 

[N4YQT]

Yes, I've been keeping an eye out for them there, Craigslist, etc. Regards.

You might call my friends at Startech in Pomona, CA. Ask for Todd. They might have a KSU or help you find one. Here's a quick link to some of their TIE sets:

My goal isn't to promote or advertise (I've been on this forum for quite a few years). Just trying to help as usual. Good look on the roadshow. It sounds fun!

Thanks Tim. I'll give Todd a call during the week. Regards. Fred

No luck with Todd. He does not have any KSUs that old.
