Looking for telephone system junction box known in the trade as a "66
block." Prefer something that handles 25 or 50 pair and am interested in
buying two of them. What'd'ya got laying around?
Thanks.

Vern W9STB

If no one has any laying around, go to www.milestek.com and do a search for
part no. 50-44017.

66 blocks are easily available at your local Home Depot.

You can probably get them at Home Depot or Lowes for less that the
shipping to you. I've seen them for 6 and 7 dollars.

Vern lives in northern Wisconsin, (north of Wausau and just south border
with Michigan's Upper Peninsula .. "true land of lakes area")
the local Home Deport is not necessarily "around the corner".
----------------------------------------
Vern,

I use to see a large number of surplus "66" blocks at hamfests and they can
be found through a number of surplus electronics sources (e.g. All
Electronics, MECI, etc.). If you have a demolition of an older commercial
or office location, you may find some headed for the scrap yard or in the
dumpster.

Do you want a "50-50" version of the 66 block?

Thanks to all for the suggestions. We do have a Home Depot about 30 miles
from here...HOWEVER...being the "scrounge" that I am and with respondent
"gb" being in synergy with me , I think I might try the Oneida County
landfill. Man that place is almost an electronics flea market...only one
with odor. I appreciate all of you helping me out. Tomorrow I might point my
Pontiac toward Rhinelander and see what comes up.

'ppreciate it one and all!

Vern W9STB

BTW..."gb" how did you know my location? Are you familiar with these-here
parts? Perhaps a neighbor? We've got bear, and deer and raccoons but I have
yet to spot a ham!

Mind the bears. The Oneida landfill always has a few
milling about.

Vern -

My brother-in-law is a fulltime fishing guide for Wisconsin (he has the
fishing shows, etc.)
and coordinates with other guides in Michigan UP and lower Ontario.
I have been up there a couple of times (once on business at Wisconsin Rapids
paper mills) and northern Minnesota.

Chuck, what should Vern do if the bear has the 66 block he wants? ....
hope he is the Hamms bear and will trade for a 6 pack? :-)

gb

BTW, Chuck I just looked in my telephone parts and I do have a Siemon
S66M1-50 (4x50 66 block) with the mounting bracket, clear protective cover
and label strip (but no bridging clips) - just like in these instructions.

IF you can't find one, send me an e-mail.

Thanks Greg.
I don't mind the bears at the Oneida County landfill...there's enough to eat
for all of us out there.
I think I may have located a 66 block somewhat locally, but I will keep your
offer in mind.
Thanks for your input into this newsgroup string and...and...I guess I'll
see you out by the "ALUMINUM AND TIN RECYCLABLES" container!
My best,
Vern

Your local Graybar will have them for a couple bucks each. It would cost
more in postage for me to send you some out of the junkbox here.
