Western Electric 555 PBX Switchboard.

Thanks for doing that clip, I enjoyed watching it.
Nice to see one working, would love to have a 555 in the FAB den.

I have lots of questions now though.... how you wired that little lot up, any initial problems with the 555, how long did it take, what was missing/did you need....
....and what does the mysterious ringing payphone look like....   ;)

I followed the instructions here on the forum on how to wire up the 555.    The 555 worked perfectly after initial power up.  No bugs at all.   Nothing was missing.    I had 2 hours into it. 

And the mysterious payphone is the one in the red shroud in the picture :)
