I'm toying with the idea of getting a WECO 555 or similar board to play with. I realize they need a power and ringing supply. As I see PBXs on eBay and craigslist it appears they are missing their power units. Here is an example. Was the original supply mounted on the racks on the back?

Many times the power was fed from the CO to make sure that the power was always there.I have used power supplies from 1a2 systems to power these units

I have a 552 PBX board.  The power to that board was fed from the equipment room that had the switching equipment.  I know the 552 is not the same animal as a 555.
