Twenty Years of
Singing Wires Newsletters on CD!


This photo is from a small, 1880, American Bell Telephone Company publication called Description of the telephone and of the Apparatus Used in Connection Therewith ... 1880, that was the year the ABTC was formed. 

This historic photo and hundreds more ... some also historic, some not so much so ... some good, maybe some not so good but certainly all of interest to the serious or causal telephone historian or collector are in a Twenty Year History of TCI CD that is now available to telephone collectors everywhere. Bev McFadden, co-editor of the Singing Wires Newsletter for 15 years, has taken every newsletter ever published by TCI between June, 86’ and Jun, 05’ and assembled them on this one CD. That's 226 newsletters, thousands of articles and items and hundreds of photos, many of them in color.
August 2004
First newsletter by the new
editors David Massey & his
daughter, Renee Durham.

The CD is in PDF format. PDF files are all text searchable, you can quickly find a story or reference to any topic by simply entering a keyword into the Adobe Acrobat search window. Put in Western Electric and you will get hundreds of hits. Customize it to colored telephones and you’re down to dozens of hits with half of those being Jon Kolger ads requesting colored phones. Put in Pekin red and there will be nine hits ... only 4 for mahogany A/E.
