They were solid-state but didn't have any fancy stuff in them.
All the regular discrete components - but the coils were little
black cylinders about the size of 6 nickels stacked up.
As I recall (remember: this is FIFTY YEARS AGO) the plug in
modules consisted of:
Loop supply
Transmitter
Receiver
850Hz shift
85Hz shift
power supply
UE,
K2EAA - TONY
NNNN
ZCZC
