Background

I've been interested in phones for many decades and maybe around 1998 got this kit for use in volunteer work installing and maintaining phones.

7/16" and 3/8" sockets that fit many telephone hex nuts, like in old and new Demarcation boxes (Wiki)
Note that the hole in each socket is over 1-1/4" deep so that it will work on tall binding posts.

                  Can Wrench Multi Tool There are also 5/8" and 9/16" male hex drivers for opening Telephone Company boxes (Wiki: Cans)

The slot is to hold the cutter for wire stripping and it's fallen out.  Where to get replacement?  Let me know.

                  Can Wrench Multi Tool This is a different tool that has the wire stripping bit installed.
It was reasonably priced, probably lower price than than getting a replacement bit.

Loosen 4 screws and remove left battery cover to access the 9V battery compartment.

Switch: Pulse or Tone

Button: LNR = Last Number Recall [typically used for dialing ANI (Wiki)]

Switch: Hi-Z (monitor) - Ring (monitor) - Talk (off hook)

No battery.
Harris TS19 Butt
                  Set When this buttset is connected to the at&t DSL modem using the Banjo there is no sound in the speaker and no indication that there's RF data on the line.  There are more modern butt sets that have the capability of detecting digital data, and I have the Fluke TS52 on order.

Note this is not a problem for disturging ADSL (Wiki) because connecting a butt set and going off hook will only effect the POTS function.  BUT . . if the technician does not know the line is carrying ADSL and then swaps it for another line he may disable the DSL because of bridges or loading coils (Wiki) on the alternate line.
But may be for things like burglar alarms or T1 lines?
