Hi Guys

Does anyone know where I can find some more information on the workings of old Manual telephone exchanges? I have obtained and collected a lot of very old wooden switchboards and want them to get working again. Any ideas on old manuals or technical information?

Perhaps information and connections that you make with persons on the following sites will be of help to you.

Clough - At A action back in NOV. they had 6 old crank type telephones, they each went for $20.00 up to $75.00. All the parts were still in them. Ithought very deeply about bidding but didn't. They were all in good shape. Good day & GOD BLESS>:::: F.B.E.
