Another day at the working on the … today I was changing the strapping on the vertical marking bank (VMB) for some group selectors.

The VMB is used when the selector moves vertically, to allow/deny access to certain levels.

Here I converted a selector that allowed (89)xx to allow (34567890)xx

This changes it from serving our museum demo phones to be suitable for use as an incoming selector from a distant exchange.

I spent today doing maintenance on the

We cleaned, lubricated and adjusted all the group and final selectors and cleared all but one fault.

This is a poorly group selector, that refuses to operate to dial pulses. For some reason the K relay doesn’t operate. We cleaned all the contacts in the operate chain, checked the coils, spent well over an hour on this one selector!

It beat us today, but it won’t beat us entirely!

Here's another look at Duck Hunt. This isn't the game we grew up with. It's an projector game called "Duck Hunt Kosenju" from 1976. My copy was a South American export, but it was primarily a Japan only game.

It works with motors, mirrors, lights, and batteries. The cool thing is, a hit causes a quack and a falling animation!

more goodness up for the nerds.

I've put up scans for most of the Gremlin/Sega arcade games.
I also purchased 3 rare Japanese game flyers, from about 1970, 1975, and 1985!

These are a group of 4 relay sets that bridge between an and an electronic

I designed/installed them at the (UK) back in December, but they didn’t work.

I built them with UAX style “dis testing” of free outlets, but the exchange is PABX4 based, and uses “battery testing” - so they were all permanently marked as busy… oops!

New springsets, extra resistor and lots of rewiring to do, so they’re back on my bench for rework!
