JKL Museum of Telephony News and Updates

We’ve added a 1970s catalog to our site:
Western Electric Telephone and Apparatus and Equipment, January 1970

This catalog was produced by the Western Electric Defense Activities Division.

The file has been compiled & processed by Remco Enthoven and bookmarked by Paul Fassbender.

We hope you will enjoy this new addition to our site.

The file can also be downloaded from the TCI Library at:

We’ve added a virtual tour to our website. There is a link to the tour in the menu bar of the site but you can also click here to go to the tour.
Be sure to check out the info links and videos embedded in the tour.
More interactive elements will be added in the future.

We hope you will enjoy this virtual tour.

Finished a huge scanning project of over 200 black and white photos showing all of the telephone infrastructure in San Francisco around 1912.

We have put the final touch on our rotary dial AE panel phone by adding a paper mat. It took a while finding the right type of paper. It is not exactly the same as the original but the texture is very close and I think it looks pretty good.The touch tone version has an original mat.The last photo shows both AE type 95 panel phones on display at our museum.

New photos have been added to the photo slider at the bottom of the homepage: https://www.jklmuseum.com/
