Got some dirty #telephone #switchboard plugs you need to clean up? You need a Bell System Plug Polisher 497A!

This signalling system relied on in-band 2280Hz tones, and although its design wasn’t quite as open to abuse as the American 2600Hz equivalent signalling, this equipment did have vulnerabilities
So, once I’ve got it working in captivity I intend to have lots of fun trying to #phreak it!

Can you believe it was over 22 years ago that people all over the country were trying to figure what the hell a “Verizon” is?
