Stan,

I hope you find the set you're after.

You never know what's lurking out there.

Many years ago, I was shown the bones of a speakerphone paystation with no handset from the NYWF that was in the barn of a former WE employee. I was unable to pry one of them away from him. Yes, he had several. He also had a bin of the chromed speaker enclosures from the seats on the ride in the Bell System exhibit. I did talk him out of one of those, but there were a pile of them left. He passed a few years later. By the time I got the news, the barn had been cleaned out.  The sets are hopefully out there somewhere in circulation and not in a landfill.

I believe the set had a fiberglass housing, and would like to find a photo of a complete set some day.

An oval 10 button, 3 slot, panel payphone with an oversize vault is not a common phone.
