Thanks so much everyone. It IS a tele-comm board from an old hospital system - my father bought an outdated phone system from his work and installed it in our house when I was a kid (he's a systems manager). I moved back a few months ago and they have a LOT of stuff kicking around here that I've been told I'm free to take, as long as it ends up GONE - including that station. Their basement is where I got my first metal load, too. I already popped off a few (three) of the soldered components :/ because they were some of the ones that have copper coils inside. Didn't realize "breaking down" did not necessarily include the soldered bits. Definitely think this may be a case of having lost out on something of greater value - they appear to be for sale in various places online, and now I've popped things off that maybe I shouldn't have.
