The pedestal likely has an old Bell 103 modem in it?

  A new find, awaiting restoration – was supposed to have been working X?X years ago – been sitting ever since. I’ve never seen one with a card dialer – though a few hundred years ago, I had a card-dialed telephone set  with this mechanism in it–  (why? because I could. ;}  )

 

The entire pedestal is full of an enormous ‘lesu’ – I haven’t dug into it all yet –  most likely be a summer project.

 

I have ordered one of Mike Douglas’ current loop to serial converters for it, and it will probably end up connected to my PiDP11.

 

I’d be interested to know if anyone is familiar with this particular style of machine….
