Sam:

I know exactly what you are talking about. In New Jersey, I used to encounter those 1A1 setups all the time. That "system" was completely line-powered, so there really wasn't a way to power the lamps anyway. What made it even more fun was that it was field-constructed and those little metal housings for them were frequently placed in ceilings and nearly impossible to find!

They definitely charged an extra monthly fee for flashing lamps. I remember that well when I was renting equipment from NJ Bell at my home.
