Someone was looking for a way to increase volume about a week ago. I think it was for a payphone. The percect solution just came up on eBay..

I have a bunch of coin phone amplifiers.  I have two kinds, AT&T and APC.  The AT&T amplifiers have a contact closure type loud button.  Those have 3 volume levels and each press of the button cycles the volume up one level, then back down to the lowest level again.  The APC amplifiers have a button with up and down arrows.  I don't remember how many levels it has, but you're able to adjust it up or down at any time.  If anyone has a need for either of those types, let me know.
