Not like the Spokesman, but a cheaper, (like Chinese cheap) from the turn of the millenium. I got it at my local Savers as I dropped off some unused 6400 sets late in September.
I did livestream again, but funny thing was since I have local power from the Cisco, it worked without needing the AC power wart.

In mid September, I got another Starplus II POTS set. This one is without the speed dial keys
Less than a month later, I did a live stream to the Facebook page. Ignore the overzealous auto focusing. Due to some issue with my Avaya 100A module and perhaps some other oddities on the Cisco side, the thing failed. At least for now.
In February, I had made a series of posts on the subject of the AT&T Merlin. There was a meaning behind this. One was I had acquired two BIS and a 34 button set in the fall of last year.

The other was I was in the process to acquire at Merlin unit. I was building all this up to a big post sometime in the mid winter, that turned up to be a big smoke.
I mean literally too..
In February I acquired a Merlin 410 control unit, from an Etsy seller as this was a vintage equipment. I received this on President’s Day. The video rolling was originally going to be an unboxing, and as a result, it quickly became a documented situation to prove beyond a reasonable doubt I received this $88 item defective.
The following day, after the house had some bad fumes for part of the previous day, I then took it to the garage and it fumed up one last time.
By May, the system was working without much hassle. I still assume the system could blow up at any time, and still presuming the system is not fully operational.
