Phone booths are like switchboards and boats.
The two best days of owning them are the day you get it, and the day you get rid of it.
Just a thought,

I have owned at least 10 booths and switchboards over the years , They are cool to own and play with. They are cool to get rid of when the time comes.  I have never owned a boat.

You hit the nail on the head! I enjoyed it while I owned it, but over time it became something in the background.

Our indoor booth like that has become a closet in the living room it seems.  A catch all for stuff we arent using.    I would consider rehoming it but id have to take out a door casing to get it out,  So it stays put lol.

Ive also got 3 switchboards I picked up at the local auction cheap 45 bucks each.  People said they wanted them,  but now they dont,  So ive got a 2x 551s and a 555 in my workshop that i have zero room for.   Eventually ill have to break em down for scrap which sucks.  But when nobody wants the things what can ya do?

I have always wanted a Phone Booth and a Switchboard. They are huge and take up a lot of space. I have a understanding wife who lets me have a whole room for phones.

No can do....Doug

I would love to take the 555 board off your hands but I am in South Florida. Everything is too far from me!
