Funny thing, various other outfits started selling Premier items in the late '90's. I bought a Premier buttset from American Electric in Salina, KS for less that I could buy it from NORTH SUPPLY. And they said that was their normal price! And their Connectorized 25 pr was Premier. Long live N/S, may they RIP. John C. When I was young, I was Liberal.

I know a diode will work for that. Didn't know you could do that with a varistor. Arthur P. Bloom "30 years of faithful service...15 years on hold"

Most of today's technicians never had to troubleshoot over long distances by themselves. When I say long, I speak of miles, not a couple of floors in a building or between them. That's considered "long distances" by today's newer technicians. A couple thousand feet with a butt set, a meter and a moistened fingertip can speak volumes to an educated ear. Now that I think about it, I still shake my head when I hear that two of my "technicians" will be required in a return visit run a single four-pair cable. All I can think of is those years of running many 25/50 pair station cables, terminating them, placing sets and leaving them working by the end of the day by ourselves. If today's excuse for a technician only knew what real work is. Until about ten years ago, it was not uncommon for one tech. to pull 10-20 four-pair cables by themselves. Now all I hear is whining about how much work that is. Wow, times surely have changed. They all still expect to have state-of-the-art test equipment and butt sets though. Like they would even know how to really use them! Ed Vaughn, MBSWWYPBX
