No, not at all. Sure, you're not getting the latest and greatest. But for a circa 1984 system, it's nice.

well i still see them in use, so they have to be good, but it looks nice. So... how are these systems connected to A/C power? is it by a computer power cord? (3 prong grounded) it doesnt come with the power cord.

Yup, just a three pronged computer cord. I did forget to mention one thing, that I should have. You do realize that the "voice terminals" do not connect to the KSU with standard plugs, right? Merlins use 8 pin "RJ45" cords, in a 568B wiring scheme. So, in theory, you could use network patch cables (straight-thru, not crossover). Or, you could go the cheaper route, buy some un-crimped cable, 8 pin plugs, borrow a crimper, and make your own cables.

The jacks 1-19 are your stations and u can use the cables mentioned above.
the a-b-c-d are your co lines and are rj11 and use the 4 pin plugs .
You can run it on your bench with 568 jumpers sta to contol unit and plug in a phone line to a or b ,etc.

ok well kenb i understand that 10-19 are my stations and that abcd are the lines... and im guessing the phones have rj-11 connectors to go to the control unit. i guess now i want to know this: i have rj-45 cables, and i have rj-11 cables, is there some kind of mid-line coupler or such that will convert the rj designation? or do i have to go with either the patch panel or buying my own cable and crimping it? i am trying to go as cheap as possible here.

No the merlin phones have female 568 if you will so if you take a 568 premade jumper cable and plug one end in control unit and one in set it will work Again rj11 into a-b-c-d for lines
merlins use 8 wires
