Wow, another Maine CocoNut!  I'm in Bath.  My wife sometimes gets to 
Skowhegan on business.

Good, I'm still running two 20M ST-225s off one of the first B&B's made.

Always cool to hear of the Coco used in serious industrial apps.

Wonder if a Coco could run a #1ESS?  Don't know how "vintage" your switch 
gear is, but I once owned a new-in-box Strowger switch.  Wanted to interface it 
to the KIM-1 or Coco just to watch it work, but gave it to a good home before 
that came to pass.
