We had the TT-117 / TT-179 "version" of the FGC-25 while in Guam... 
Looked a bit like this:

Don't really miss the TT-117 - but that TT-179 was one fine unit... was 
a really versatile unit as it included a loop supply and terminal block 
in the back with "routing switches" on the front for patching units in 
and out of various loops, etc.  Another "shouldn't have let it go" unit...

Well - at least there is a 28 back in the house...
