There were also some TDDs in that size.
No these were clearly "tools" for linemen type things, likely made
exclusively for Pacific Bell, but not by them. I should have just bought
one, maybe I will this weekend at the next swapmeet.
Another curious thing, a load of calculator sized
terminals from Pacific
Bell, but no clue about what exactly they do, so I didn't buy any
(should be at swapmeet next week too). Nothing was obvious about the
function, small 4 line lcd display, alphanumeric keypad, and from
looking at a larger similar unit they attech to a typical POTS phone
wire.
Sounds like either a POTS line tester of some sort or a terminal for the
old AT&T craft access system. Most likely the later.
