man, so that's what a coin phone looks like inside... almost a full computer in there....this one must be pretty recent....

This is a standard "dumb" payphone with no smarts in it. You should see my elcotel series 5. Full of chips.

But its my "dumb" payphone  ;)

At least, the dumb ones are able to use a payphone controller, no need for programming.

It seems like COCOT programming are pretty difficult.  For me, using another language, and a totally different dialing plan and rate plan, it would be a nightmare.

So far I guess Haf's the only one who has partly solved this programming.

Just thought I would do one last post on here. I made a back for my phone to mount to so if I have to move it again I will not have to gut it out.
I like how it turned out. mabey one day I will get a payphone controler for it.....if I ever get that smart to build one :)

Thanks for the help everyone!

Very nicely done, Anthony!

     You are exactly one payphone ahead of me. ;) I keep looking for an affordable, working three-slot, time will tell the tale.

     Keep up the good work!

Best regards!

Yup that is what I am doing no coins. (still would be kind of neat to use it with coins) I also uploaded the signs......Been checking ebay on phones now....I think I got some kind of phone bug now...

Oh, dear!

     You might want to take, and heed well the sage advice of our resident expert on phonitis... he'll likely chime in any time now... ;)

Best regards, and welcome to the fold, Tony! I'm glad you are here!

 ;) Welcome to the club!

It is extremely many reasons for liking telephones, for me understanding them, and  making them function as intended, or sometimes "my way" are my main reason.

Thank you for the photos.
