"Bell System Wheelock Duo Potential Signal.  KS-8229-L13"

Potentially a "Code Call" Chime for anyone looking for one. PEI Dave was looking but pretty sure he got one.

Here's an interesting item.  A piece of a cable that was removed from service in 1905 in Pittsburgh(?) PA, then relocated to Shadyside Ohio.  The author didn't know when the cable was originally placed in service, but obviously it's quite old.  He says that only a few of these samples are in existence.

13 gauge...WoW! Likely trunk cables between Exchanges unless was for long distance circuits. Open wire of course was large gauge wire good for trunks and long distance circuits but cable isn't usually that heavy. Eventually repeaters and amplifiers then Carrier relieved the need for heavy gauge to minimize losses on long circuits.

I've read about cable being removed here and reinstalled elsewhere too. Once outgrown it can still be used somewhere else.

First item - not sure what it is.  Don't see a part number.

2565 HK with a rolodex automatic dialer and power supply.

Nice Blue AE spacemaker. 

Kellogg spacemaker - can't tell from the picture but it's brown.  Dial card says Select O Phone.

I think a Stromberg Space Maker.  Interesting dial card.

I have bought many collections, fun ain't it. 8)

Yes it is.  Although I've only unpacked about half of the collection and I'm out of room.  Maybe the city will let me put a very large room addition on my tool shed.

"Rolodex Dialer" is a DASA Corp "MagiCall Dialer". Needs a programmer so watch for it. It's a dial in a plastic box with a short cord that plugs on to the plug in the back of the Dialer. You will think the dial is broken because it has no speed governed, wind it up, let it go and it seems like it keeps picking up speed until it hits the stop. Is the key set and Dialer black or brown? Looks brown in the picture.

Sand Beige AE 183 SpaceMaker

FORGET me Not Blue AE 83 SpaceMaker that looks identical to one I have. The painted metal body stays blue and the plastic handset turns green looking exactly like AE Turquoise!
