Cool.  Thanks.  <big smile>  My inner geek just couldn't throw it away.

Greg -- Hmm. I do have a rotary dial and will have a car tonight. Bring it
along. You won't go home with it. -- Ward

All,

 

I recently removed this (see attachment) from a building I was working on.
The Quest guy said he wasn't even sure what it was and that it might be from
the 40's.  I think he was a punk kid who never lived in a world without cell
phones.  I also think it's probably from the early 60's and NOT from the
40's, although *maybe* the Quest guy was right.

 

Not sure if anyone is interested or not but if you are, it's yours.   Let me
know and I'll bring it to the meeting tomorrow night.

 

All of the little black stacks appear to be a type of old style rotary
dialer / patch switch like they used to have in central offices.  If nothing
more, it's cool looking.
