Yes, that is exactly what it is, probably connected to a PBK675 power booster amplifier....working on those public address, nurse call and intercom systems in my early years was lots of interesting fun....i wish i could go back to those days....recently just discarded all my old service manuals which i refused to get rid of for a few decades...needed the room in my garage for other crap....

I see the reflection of the windows in the water, and the lyrics from the Supremes comes to mind,,

The love you took from me

Holy crap my dad still has that exact typwriter. And I have to use it to type up cheques at his office. It's a finicky lil thing.

I don't know how to thank you for putting these photos up on the Web. These artful and haunting images -- every single one of them -- touch me on a very personal level,. For, you see, my own German-American father (d.1981) was committed to Broadacres twice in the 1930s and 40s with adult TB. He lived there for a cumulative total of maybe 3 yrs or more, and my mother tells me she visited him there daily. All of this happened long before I was born, and lately I've been trying to reconstruct pieces of my father's distant past. The pictures you've posted are an enormous help!
FYI, I have good scans of several old photos of my father at Broadacres, and of course I have the original prints. If at all interested, you can email me at cnill@live.com.

me and my buddies were just on the land that this hospital was and it sucked that there are no tunnels open or anything.. we really wanna know if the area is haunted.. but good pics man enjoyin them very much

I went in there just a couple of weeks ago and all i seen was a white think kinda infront of me and i shined the flashlight and it went away....then something banged above me and right next time and for the rest of the night nothing else happend......then just last week i went again and it sounded like someone was breathing behind me and when i was in the boiler room it sounded like someone was running up behind me when i got onto the stairs.....i found some papers that were on the 3rd floor i think that were dated 1980 it was really cool!!!! i would love to go back again but it hurts to get up there and back down!!!

I remember taking gramps to this room for some sunlight. Beautiful view from the inside.

Sadly, my grandfather was a patient here in 1981. By that time it had been turned into a nursing facility. I remember going to visit him a couple of times. Even took a pic of him and my grams on their 50th wedding anniversary there (albeit in his room). Gramps died here in December.

Actually sadly enough, my grand dad was here before he passed away in 1981. I visited him twice i believe. It was a nice facility, was turned into a nursing home.
