Also weird one but if anyone wants to swap those 200 outlet group selectors and cradles with 100 outlet UAX13 style ones hit me up! It’ll simplify the wiring our end. So I’m hoping someone has the opposite problem to me 😂
Gees, I don't know where you get the energy from to see all this through. It would have been "Information Overload" in my brain had I been faced with a project like this. Mucho respect to you Sam!! Seeing those bundles of wires at the back of the telephone exchange made me think back to the days I did quality control at Draka Comteq cable factory. We made telephone cables with 900 pairs of wires, paper insulated, surrounded by a lead casing and I had to measure each pair for resistance and capacitance. It was great work coz it would take just over one shift to measure one cable and the computer did the measuring so I could play cards in between with my colleagues :)
showed this to my father who does this as a hobby and a couple of things he pointed out: its IDF not MDF also that massive chonky cable is supposed to go to the IDF and sonthing i want to add is we have a telephone exchange linked to the internet by voip too, you can get these pci hardware cards that support pulce dialing out of the box so you dont need the converter but requires a bit to get working software wise and another thing, we have like 7 UAX13 rack frames on the scrap heap idk how my parents (who own the house) would feel if you wanted to come pick them up though so dont get your hopes too high
hey up cheers for that! the rack C is IDF and MDF as far I'm aware. but happy to be wrong! always interested in finding stuff so yeah definitely let us know! I have found an empty rack however its miles away. but interested. cheers! I think I have one of those cards actually!o000hhhh
@@THISMUSEUMISNOTOBSOLETE ah nice however I think you are miles from us to lol have a feeling you are somewhere near the london end of England but Im right near wales so I doubt its any closer hahaha. also there are a couple of asterisk cards that don't support pulse dialling as well as some that do some of the ones we have are made by a company called openvox but beware the company is Chinese and the instructions are murder to follow
That thick cable looks like the 300 triple that i used to run in exchanges, the triple was a pair plus a busy wire. Thos outgoing 'field' wires sometimes have a connection for an air line, normally connected to a nitrogen gas cylinder with pressure monitoring and alarm, it was to keep water out of juction boxes in the field. I can see the led matrix getting some rude images :P
Did'nt know they ran nitrogen in there (obviously for it's inert properties) Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I've worked in alot of exchanges- on the fuel storage for the back-up generators.
This looks like as tremendous undertaking. I wish you best of success! I hope to see it live some day, but with current situation on international travel this is unlikely. Calling in would be my best next option.
Thanks to this series of videos I now not only kind of understand the basics of how these old telephone exchanges worked, but I also did my own googling around and now know how to say "group selector" in my native language. Also the Russian ones had a different layout apparently?
This is awesome to hear about and hopefully is still going well. I need to make time to get to see the museum in person, maybe it will have to be spring 2023 now though, certainly sometime in 2023 😄
Very intruged by the whole museum. Really looking forward to the Internet call in feature as a way to experience it more directly. I am in the US and unlikely to to be able to travel to the UK anytime soon.
Can i call any of those phones from my cellphone? How much it costs? You can do money for the museum by that?! Also you gotta have an waiting lines with elevator/waiting/busy music on it. Youre hundred man in one ! No, thousand! If everyone could Be that productive... We all have been living on the moon for hundred years allready!
All coming along nicely. I do have a "noob" type question; will all that be affected by the change over to all-digital internet telephone? I'm only asking this as I still have three traditional cabled landline phones dotted around the house via an analogue copper telephone line (and like you, I live at Kent).

Love the idea of calling in and controlling things with a phone!

@@garethjones7182 It's also cheap, there's about 78% nitrogen in the atmosphere
Nice video thank you for sharing 👍

I wish I was local - I would love to help out with all this.
Calling into a pulse telephone exchange from the internet is like making a phone call to the past

Why does it look like you're filming this a flashlight? Night at the museum but the synths come to life

Always interesting, thanks for showing us 👍🙂

You should put mirrors behind so you can see all the cabling from the front.
😲 the museum connected to the net?…….skynet takes control…🤣😂 Awesome stuff!! 👍
Could you setup a webcam near the exchange so we can see it light up when we call?
Really cool! Hopefully you'll document the drawing machine when you build it?

you need to wire one up to do time and temp!!! i don't know if that was a thing in the uk but here in the US used to call to get time and weather! lol
A mad man. Truly a mad man

Do install some automatic fire extinguish devices! :) Great stuff
I heard they go off by accident some times, i don't think id bother cleaning everything after hahaha.
@@THISMUSEUMISNOTOBSOLETE Oh darn, I hope not, have some in my house while away. :)
@@VincentGroenewold which ones do you use
Brilliant! :D Beyond Brilliant Actually -

LOL! "Eternal Hold Void" is my favorite. >.
Hi I have 2 ringers how can I call you. Cheers Shane
You need an analog multiplexer for analog telephone lines instead of connecting all manually.
Can you do a catch up video on the Google counter
Are you using a gun wire rapper for the back of the racks I can still remember the colour code from my younger days working for plessey telecom
There’s a rack in a museum in Northumberland from the strowger era phone racks, Took me back also to the Plessey era, I was in big and small 15
"those are the internet"
Ever one of those wire is someone internet
wot
this rules. look mum is my role model
I think it is amazing to see whst you have accomplished so far in the museum desptie being a procrastinator😂
Ok
