Thanks, Joe for your response. This unit mounts on the wall in about a
9 inch by 9 inch by 3 inch box. There are three screw terminal blocks for in
and out, and some other options, too, I suppose. One terminal block is
marked TB1 and is numbered 1 through 4. Another is marked TB2 and is
numbered 5 through 20. A strip in the bottom of the unit has three terminals
and no markings.
There are two knobs in it, one on a multi-turn pot and one on the
frequency selector. It also has six pairs of 1/4 inch jacks for test points.
I got this from a radio station many years ago when it was abandoned by
the phone company. Seems like we used it at the transmitter end of a remote
AM station. I need to run some rpt audio though about a half mile of twisted
pair and thought this old beast might brighten things up a bit.
I guess the ultimate test would be to run some tone through it and see
what it will do. I thought maybe some of the gerus here might remember what
all those 23 screws are for or know where to find out. There are probably
some Bell proceedures around somewhere for this.

Al, K9SI
