I am wondering if anybody has any leads on where I can get an old autodialer. It is a "Strategy", and was made by Technology Applications Corp. out of Mountain View, Calif. (silicon valley). Looking up that company shows no listing, and I was told they were out of business. Does anyone know otherwise??? This was a very unique autodialer in which it held 60 numbers, and each memory location was fully programmable to execute a given set of commands, which included Bell AND OCC dial tone detection, busy tone detection (all 3 within 10 to 20 milliseconds), loops to other memory locations, 1/2 and 1 second delays, flash and disconnect comands, and others I cannot think of at this time. I was the proud owner of one, but it died an early (I hope) death. Since I cannot find the company, I would hope to find another one in working condition. Anyone who owns one of these knows how good they are, and might have bought a spare that they never had the need for, and might want to find a new home for. Of course, I only have one use for the autodialer. It is perfectly suited for radio contests, which I have used my dear, departed old dialer for until it's untimely demise. If you can give me any leads, I would very much appreciate it.
