Looking for a door that would fit the pictured booth (approximately 30" wide opening)

and a 1980s era payphone as pictured below (same style with coin slot on left and coin return on left ... black coin box door ... digits, not rotary)

thank you all in advance for any help! I'm looking for a payphone ~$50-$100 range and a door ~$100 range

I dont beleive that booth ever had a door, and youll not find a western electric payhpone for 50 bucks, the internal parts alone are worth way more than that.  Not to mention the shipping would excede your price range.

It is a handicapped booth,it was designed to except a wheel chair. You can always spot anything handicapped because of the with of the booth and the 48 inch to the coin slot height.

Thanks all! I don't necessarily need guts in the phone .. .as for the door, im trying to find a real door I can put on the booth , even though it never had one.

im trying to do something along these lines, where a guy used a 42" bi-fold closet door from Lowes to make a door .... good solution, but I was hoping to find a real door.

Yea, you would need to make something because there isn't a door that would fit that. They are different than the standard "super man" booth.
