A guy who purchased a few phones from me sent me a couple of pictures of a phone he found in a booth he purchased. I am not a pay station expert so I am asking here, is it correct & real?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Built by Chicago Old telephone. The Grey coin collector is real along with the AE handset. The wooden cabnets were built by a local cabnet maker
Thanks Robbie! You are the man!
If it was in a wooden booth, COT made a few out of oak with leaded glass windows. It was too expensave and not many were sold
That is a neat set though, nice to have knowlegable people here.
Robbie, you are right on the money. He just sent me a picture of the booth, just as you said. He does not have a key for the pay station. Do you know what he might need to open it?
Thanks for the info!
Man...That is just too cool.
wiping drool from chin...
This guy has a vintage goods store in Florida. I am sure it is or will be for sale. Do you want his contact info? ;D
For anyone who might be interested here is his site:

He has a lot more stuff than what is on the site. I think he sells a lot of stuff locally.
If you can get the coin colletor off the wooden backboard, you can use a screwdriver to back out rge screws that hold it.
