Well, I see a rotary dial.  Jim had a regular rotary phone working at
the VON show.  In all seriousness, I have every reason to believe that
this could interface with Asterisk.

I don't have a grand to drop but this is a beautiful piece of history
and it would be really awesome to hook up to Asterisk.

It's a 1940s switchboard.  The ad says Bell but my understanding is
that this type was used in large offices downtown.  A friend has a
training manual she received, picturing such units, from when she went
to a school (around 40 years ago?) where young ladies went to be
trained as switchboard operators.

Wouldn't that unit look cool our next VON booth?  If ever there was a
group of telephone enthusiasts, this is it.  I'd love to hear that a
TAUG member bought this switchboard.
