Hey all again,

Thanks for all of the replies and thanks to Ralph for the offer - if I knew where it went, I would jump right onto it ^_^ .  It looks like the mystery connector connects up to terminals 31 & 33 on the Bell System-type terminal block… and then a third wire to frame ground.  I’m still sifting through schematics - but the 19 I have here looks similar to this:

Still need to do more comparisons.  The 19 I have though goes onto a wood table, not a metal one (like on the schematic above).  The mystery deepens ;p ~
