I just Bought 3 phones

[Phonzy]

Hello, I'm Michel, new to this forum, I saw these 3 phones in a shop, I had to buy them,

First 2 are in real good condition, they work perfectly, they just need some cleaning,

The payphone is in a bad shape inside, the coin mechanism wiring is cut and theres a a lot of wires inside not connected to anything,

I did some research, I got a lot of information about the working phones but the payphone I cant identify it, I haven't found much

information about it online, any information is much appreciated,

Hi, and welcome to the forum.
Those telephones does not look familiar to me, but the coin mechanism looks like the one used on some German payphones in the 60-ies.

Do you have pictures from inside the phone?

Is that arabic notation on the first phones' center?

Hi and welcome to the forum! You have found the best place on the net for old phones.
I agree, looks to be Arabic writing on the payphone dial card. I do not believe we have any Arabic phone collectors here but maybe searching for middle east payphone types would yield some info. Also pictures of the inside migh be useful.

The numbers on the first phone are the characters nearest the 78&9 surrounding the center.  It's funny they call our numerical symbols Arabic numerals and they don't look like Arabic Arabic numerals.

The middle phone, orange with beige dial plate, is a Japanese Nippon Telephone & Telegraph (NTT) standard 600 type set.  Circuit diagrams should be easy to find. 

Japan used optional 20 PPS dialing to stall off introduction of Touch Tone so there are 600 sets equipped with 20 PPS dials.

I can confirm that there is a

"600-A1 MADE IN JAPAN" print on the back of the phone

Does it have a standard 10PPS or high speed 20PPS dial?  I'm not sure if/how the model # changes with the dial speed.

I believe it's 10 pps

I have taken a few pictures of the inside of the phone, as I mentioned before it's in a bad shape,

in addition I have found a very similar phone that is fully functional and looks very similar to my payphone but with button dials not rotary,

is it possible to do some customization and add the rotary dial and old orange case to the new button phone ?
