Well that's the first 66-block I've punched down in about 20 years. Let's get this T1 rolling :D

Other than some framing and signalling silliness on the span, we have a working circuit and channel bank now.

The silliness pervades.

T1 Ringdown Test

@ety so cool! also, you said on stream that you changed the voice lines for "One! Two!" do you have video of that?

@janWilejan Not yet. This box isn't actually on the tandem yet -- its just been a local box to get to know T1s/DAHDI/wanpipe a bit better.

But the next step is to link it up to the tandem, and yes -- I'll definitely call the cursed ANAC on a speakerphone and record it 

@janWilejan @logan

Well that's done now, and it's as cursed as I thought it would be

@ety This clip sounds like the intro to a late 90's/early '00s trance or house jam. 
@ety oh man, the memories… I wonder if I still have my punchdown tool somewhere

@erik I never owned a 66-only tool, but it seems like even today(!) most of the punchdowns being sold are dual-blade.

This might be the first time the 66 blade got used on this tool 

Certainly compared with the 110 blade, which is... definitely due for replacement.
