Great video, my vote is in. I remember seeing my first mobile car phone some 40 years ago and working on the marine/mobile cord board in 78 O'Connor; it was the last manual "Operator" board to be replaced with a DMS 200 TOPS position. As a Central Office Craftsman I passed through SXS, Xbar, SA1, N51, ESS, SP1 and finally DMS. From 24 voice Channels on copper to 131,712 on glass (OC196). Any wonder why I love working on my Model A.
