Franken Phone 50H

..... · September 02, 2020, 10:19:12 PM

I know the purist's out there won't like this, but I put together this Franken phone 50H from parts that I had.
The parts consist of Northern Electric, Automatic Electric and a Gray coin chute.
I have it wired up to a 685A subset for home use. I plan on mounting it in my 1940's wooden outdoor booth for use in my garage.

Disclaimer

No rare parts were harmed in the assembly of this Franken Phone!

Doug...it is your phone you should be able to do what you like! I think it looks great. Most among us (myself included) would not know anything but it is a sharp looking Payphone....other Doug

Pretty nice! And no problem when you represent it as a Frankin-phone.

Just curious, where is the subset mounted?

And yes! Way cool setup!
