Access to decommissioned hardware

[fragtion]

So obviously Telkom must have had thousands of DSLAMS around the country that have now been decommissioned
Does anyone know where these went?
I'm looking for a used DSLAM to pair with my old ADSL/VDSL modems for homelabbing/educational purposes
If anyone has any clues or resources in this regard pls share

Make friends with a telkom technician.

I wonder how much copper in those things.
If much, then sorry for you - they likely went bye bye
