Not at all. You might be amazed at how many responses you will get from readers of this forum. Unfortunately, I have divested myself of most surplus gear due to space considerations. As I was growing up (and fooling around with things telephonic) it seemed as though all manner of doodads simply fell into my lap. Cable, blocks, telephone parts, switchboard parts, CO parts, even payphone parts came from everywhere. Sometimes it was friends of the family that would be cleaning out a garage, sometimes it would be a Pacific Telephone installer that would come back and drop off his collection of surplus stuff. In checking with associates, this seems to be a common experience. Visit any telephone "junkie" and you will find gobs of phone droppings. Even though I have cleaned most of it out, just a casual glance will tell you that a telephone nut lives here! Now where did I put that number for "Phoners Anonymous"? John Higdon | P. O.
