We are always on the lookout for more pieces to add to the collection. We are especially looking for switchboards and PABXs from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. We are also looking for telephones and associated equipment.

The collection boasts some 1000 items with over 60 working Switchboards, Intercom Systems, Telephone Systems and PABXs. We are always looking for parts (Printed Circuit boards, handsets, consoles, switchboards etc) to maintain the existing collection, as well as new items to add to the collection.

We are always searching for items made by Telecom, PMG, STC, Fujitsu, NEC, Phillips, Plessey, Ericsson and Commander.

We are willing to come and collect or freight equipment. We have traveled extensively in NSW and interstate gathering telephone equipment.
