SB-86/P Switchboard

This Vietnam era military cord switchboard works quite well. It is connected to several phones, CB and magneto. Also one trunk connects to my Mitel SX-100 PBX. —— The jackfield has 30 jacks. All have a selector switch for M, C, and T. M = Magneto, C = Common Battery, T = ? (does not work with trunk). Jacks 29 and 30 are marked for CO Trunk. —— The case becomes the stand for the switchboard. The small box on the floor is the power and ringing source. I have an external 24 VDC connected to the supply. —— SB-86/P Switchboard, Telephone, Manual — Manual telephone switchboard, Tactical, Portable, 30 Line, 2-wire, Local battery, 90 VAC 20 Hz ringing, 180 Lbs, TM 11-2134 or 11-4134, —— Major components: SB-248 Manual telephone switchboard section, TA-207 Switchboard signal assembly PP-990 Powersupply (with vibrator ringing generator)
