Hello!
I am one of Latvian Civil defense museum creators. We're collecting anything that's related to civil defense - gas masks, protective suits, Geiger counters, airraid sirens and so on. Also we collect things related to old telecommunications - old telephones, switchboards, teletype equipment.
I'm writing here because we are interested in creating of old automatic switchboard, based on Strowger switches for demonstrating purposes. I have searched for Strowger switches in Latvia in all places they have been used and found only one place where are strowger switch exchange still working. In about half of year searching i have found only two uniselectors and pair of two-motion switches in very very poor condition. I have posted in latvian Elfa forum - noone has them saved nowadays.
So. I'm asking members of this forum as our neighbours - maybe someone have old soviet/non-soviet strowger switches? I could buy about 10 pieces of them and pick them up in Estonia.
Here's our virtual museum, now only in latvian with small part of our museum, but soon it will be pn english and russian too:
