Now I've got a lamp puller, but not the lens puller, had one long since lost. Think I still have the unwrapper too, but no wire gun. OK so any one have a lacer? Were getting close to being able to start our own museum.

Yes I do have a waxed twine lacer tool . I am just one of those aholes that kept track of his tools . I also still have the first wooden spudger I was issued . I also have a 555 cord board stored in my parents tool shed since 1971 . My Dad is 80 and still goes horseback riding everyday . Keeps him out of my Mom's hair . Just thought I would add a little personal info .

EV , You are right on with the late 60's early 70's time frame . So next time someone post's a remark about you being old you can say I am not old OBTW is old !

Now that I look closer at those two strippers, I see what you mean. They both have the cutter at the same distance from the stripper. I knew they were strippers but didn't realize they had a special purpose for the wrapping industry.

How about the breakout box? Looks like that may have come in pretty handy. We don't use the amphenol connector near as much now as they did back then. Was it a standard test device the tecks carried?

Not to leave the

We had a couple of the Amp test boxes, I don't remember ever using one. I thought OBTW meant oh by the way, guess it means older burned out telephone worker.

That's a GOOD ONE , justbill . I though it meant "oh by the way" also .

Twisted pair, you got to watch that one they call ev607797.

He is so old that when he got into the communication business the latest thing out was the telegraph system.
