Gentner Teleswitch Broadcast Hybrid Call Director Phone Line Selector
Used, Close to Mint Cosmetic Condition
Description
Here's a rare chance to pick up a lightly used Gentner teleswitch. These are normally used to provide extra functionality between multiple phone lines and a Gentner on-air hybrid unit. As I recall these were over $800 back in the day.
Full details may be obtained from the User Manual.
This one is on close to mint cosmetic condition amd comes with a non-OEM regulated 12V power supply. I have replaced any blown lamps so you should be good to go out of the box (but keeping a few 7371s on hand would be a good idea) .
I have tested the unit using a single phone line and sequentially checking that I could route the line to the screener's phone output and to the hybrid output. I was able to place all lines on hold and to release them as expected. So based upon this basic test sequence, as far as I can tell the unit works as it should. I could also follow the key sequence to select two lines and conference them together -- and route the mixed audio through to the hybrid output and see all the right indications on the display lamps.
