“WallerSouth” Desk Handset

Long, long ago . . . before pagers, cellular phones and the internet . . . .

It’s 1985, with stages built and electrified - and shops, warehouses and offices up-fitted and occupied - DEG Studios was now capable of hosting numerous motion picture productions simultaneously, and it was doing just that. But to keep the cameras rolling, and productions connected to world beyond, telephones and telephone lines were needed. Hundreds of them.

So Gerald Waller added another course to his already full plate, convincing Dino to invest in a PBX system that would become a new standard for the industry. For those of us who applied our trade at 1223 North 23rd Street - the phones simply worked. Whether you were calling down to the set dressing shop, or to the lumber yard across town, or searching for a vendor in Japan! - “WallerSouth” delivered clear and reliable calling . . . and profits for DEG.
