I'll  give all three of those my vote.  I just found a good old 111c in  a
drawer by my desk of all places.......must have been there for a  while!  I
still use my Simpson every so  often.





When I worked for AT&T in the Central Office in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, I  was 
always collecting discarded rack mounted equipment to rack up in my two  genuine 
Western Electric floor standing racks that I still use in my office. The  two 
logo plates at the top say "Trademark Western Electric Company, Reg. U.S.  
Pat Ofc., Made in USA. the second plates states, "The property of Electrical  
Research Products, Inc!" 
 
Now for those who are really curious, go to

,  Page 7 of 10 will show one of these racks and the original equipment to be 
found  in them! As a 15 year old, I perused the junk yard in Logansport, 
Indiana and  found this rack fully equipped with the tubes, transformers and all. 
Could not  lug it all home, but I did strip the rack and drug it some ten 
block or more  home and this goes back to 1957! I think I paid $2.00 for it!
 
I digress, I used to have several rack panels of 111C repeat coils and rack  
mounted, with one of the WECO VI Panels (I still have it), a 124B Audio Power  
Amplifier with the original WECO tubes that worked. Sadly these items were 
all  junked for good when we moved to the Chicago area in 1970.
