Butt-Sets, Repair Tools & Test Equipment
   

Regular: Korean Butt-Set... $89.95, or 3 @ $79.95 ea.

Speaker Version: Korean Butt-Set... $109.95, or 3 @ $99.95 ea.

Used since the late 1980's by the Korean Phone Company! Knock-off of the TS-21. Nice!

NEW  Speaker Version has an amplified speaker, at an incredible price!  Powered by a 9V battery, it has a timeout circuit that powers down the speaker when the Butt-Set has been disconnected from the line for a few minutes. The speaker makes it very convenient to dial a number over the speaker, and then hold it to your ear when the person answers. It's not a full 2-way speakerphone, just a monitor. The speaker works in both the Monitor and Talk Mode.

This is the World's Best Value in a Butt-set! Tone, Rotary, Mic Mute, Last Number Redial, Ringer, Polarity Indicator, Cloth Butt-set Cordset with Angled Butt-set Clips with Spike, and Standard Metal Belt Clip. Blue. 1 Year Warranty!

We get fewer of these Butt-sets back from repair than any other Butt-set we've ever seen!

Butt-set Belt Clip (slides on your belt - like the phone company issued) only $3.95 with Butt-set purchase. Saves you pants belt loops!

Our World's Best Toner & Probe makes

Finding unmarked cables is a fact of life!

  • Push and hold the Tone selector button for 2 seconds to get a much higher frequency
  • Trace Coax by clipping from local (building) ground to the Shield of the coax cable
  • Non-conductive Tip is impregnated with silver particles, so touching the Probe to a wire will give you a scratch sound and louder tone
  • Includes standard jack for radio type headset if the tone through the speaker would disturb the office
  • Standard 9V battery included

Probe Features:

  • Easy to see Orange Case
  • Lanyard

The World's Best Toner has professional Bed of Nails Clips. The Bed of Nails Clip has lots of tiny pins that go through insulation easily. The tiny holes in the insulation then "HEAL" themselves when the Clip is removed!

These are the same tools used by RBOCs for years.

Using RHETOREX VM Cards?? Here are some tips:

  • Gary Burton of Great Lakes Telephone in Ann Arbor, MI. found that these cards tend to miss digits when paired with an ONS module which converts the key station ports to analog. He found that putting a 600 OHM (1.2W) resistor in series with a .47MF (100V) capacitor across the line fixes the problem!
  • Barry Brown of Gateway Technologies in Carrollton, Tx. says there is a little known line in the config file for the Rfhetorex Card that must be manually edited to read: inputgain=0800. He say some dials are too floud, and this fixes missing digit problems without causing more problems.
