The small tan box holds a small switch to allow me to use one of 2 phone lines
This is one of the very few rotary phones in my collection. I saw it on eBay and just couldn't resist. I spent a lot of time trying to decide where to display it without putting it out where it wouldn't fit. The closet works out in a utilitarian way being next to the alarm control panel.

1A2, 641A (left) and 620A2 (right) Key Service Units (KSU)
The 620A2 contains 3 working 400H, and 2 working 401A intercom KTUs (Key Telephone Units, those blue or gray rectangular cards in the upper sections. It takes 1 KTU for each phone line). The other KTUs are just to fill empty slots. Currently the 641A KSU is not being used. Eventually I hope to get the 409A KTU music on hold working. The small black box, upper center, contains 2 relays to operate the A1 circuits for the non-key phones throughout the house.

My old system (what a mess)
1A2, 551B "shoebox" KSU (Key Service Unit). This system was upgraded to the above system in January of 2013. The old system in this photo contained 3 400H KTUs and 1 401B KTU for an intercom line.
