[GreenKeys] Somewhat off-topic: Seeking a WE crossbar switch in working condi tion

[McNerney, Tim]

[Sorry if this is somewhat off-topic.  I'm sending this "Wanted" ad to the
group 'cause I know there are a bunch of "Bell System" vets out there.]

I am looking for a Western Electric crossbar switch, preferrably one that's
never been in service, but I'll settle for one that looks like it's in
working condition, salvaged from a switch that was being scrapped.

Too bad I didn't go a-looking for this back when the country was rapidly
converting to ESS (Electronic Switching System), but alas, eBay hadn't been
invented yet, and no one seems to be auctioning these semi-boat-anchors now.
