They're still in business but, they did sell off the building finally. They moved everything in trailers.
The website has been failing for sometime but, they still take phone orders and Mary still answers the phone (most the time). (606) 582-4124 CST Ask and she'll send ya a catalog.

The problem I had with Phoneco was that I ordered stuff on ebay from them and NONE of it was in the condition represented. NOS Dial was scratched up cords were faded discolored (partially bleached?). I know they have been around for a long time but need to accurately represent the condition of products and when they are scratched , damaged or discolored then say so.

They also made copies of Automatic Electric pay-phone housings and stamped them "Western Electric Company, Inc."

yes , I felt like the Pink cords I ordered that were partially "bleached" were in fact dyed and the dye did not "take" to some areas of the cord equally (or at all) . I think it was an attempt to get rid of a lot of white cords at a "premium price" because they were now "pink" from a cheap dye attempt.
