This is a Remake of an old non-H D video; I've also corrected my narration errors.
Thanks for watching. Please leave a comment below.
Old video. • Western Electric #3 Cr...
Nortel (Northern Electric) had a similar small Xbar system called the SA1. It was capable of about 1000 lines and was developed much earlier in the 1960's. It was installed in many small rural communities throughout Canada. Very well built system as I installed several plus many additions and modifications over the years
Thanks again for curating functional Telecom history. Never thought I would ever see a 3XB in operation.
That's amazing .. what an incredible thing to collect and preserve! It'shard to believe anyone would have enough space and time to collect such a kewl bit of technology! There can't be many such things left in the world now ..
A beautiful collection thanks for sharing and thank you for preserving. It's scary to think about all of the fantastic equipment which is thought to be obsolete that's scrapped.
Thanks for doing this in HD, it really helps for spotting all the tiny movements.
You certainly love your equipment and keep it in pristine condition. I could watch the front panel operate all day long--the lights flashing and the sounds of calls being completed. This old equipment just oozes the quality of yesteryear that we don't see today!
Thank you again for sharing.
This machine most certainly operates with the sound of authority! :)
Reminds me of my SxS switching days along with CAMA switching experience back in the 70's. Loved it. This was with southwestern bell.
Thank you so much for this video. Very pleasant memories.
You say EAS it reminded me if the days GTE territory had Columbia MO, you could call one adjacent wire center with prefixing it with 77, wait for dial tone, and dial 7 digits, toll-free, there was a limited number of these connections, if you dialed without 77, it charged you for the call. I think there were more areas. The university had disconnected our in room phones for the summer so I had to play on the coin phone in the hallway. [I was the brat that put shaving cream in the coin return, saran wrapped the toilet bowl, but I got my due payback, someone lathered my door.
Thanks, very informative and interesting.
It would be wonderful to hear some audio of calls being completed through this switch since I don't believe any exist today!
nice to here the old cxbx run again bob ridell say hi from bob patrick living in the superior nat forest
4:56 Probably Dial Tone Marker (sounds very similar to the dial tone marer for the xb5 at the connections museum.
4:59 Call completion through the marker I assume.
Yes i've made many many calls on the 5XB in Seattle, And does a lot of clunking clacking sounds when you get dial tone it's pretty cool!
Wwow
Sweet
Is the office code 543 PSTN, on house interconnection only, or Asterisk?
If you had a join I would consider joining, I was a telco employee and was lucky to have a minor tour of a 1AESS, particularly the multiplex section when I had to be in the building that day. I'm now on disability and telco information that was so proprietary then is widely found on the internet and I'm filling in the blanks, your videos are very helpful.
All of my office codes are on the private telephone collectors net work (CNET)
There is access portals from the PSTN to the Cnet. If you visit the telephone collectors international webpage there is information on how to access.
@@sxsphil my interest also extends to the how-did-they side of things, one day the economy might let me spend a day or two checking out your facilities, and if your reading this, don't worry Sarah, if I go that far, I'm heading your way too.
this is pretty cool!
How much money do you think you have in copper Wire ?
I don't understand it at all
