Re: SEASHELL" Payphone enclosures

Just bought these on Facebook Marketplace:

-4- Original "SEASHELL" Payphone enclosures (just the shell, not the phone)

$50, & had to drive 240 miles (round-trip tho) to get them! 

It will be FUN wiring them with LED lighting!

Called the Pearl by  the mfg co. I only saw one in use at a Shell gas station in Gadsden Al in 1974

The first one I remember was in a movie theater when I was around 10. (1965) I have had 2 of these over the years, sold the last one 20 years ago for $900, no phone.  There is still one in uses in a small town TELCO in Idaho.  They have some nice Gray pay station's, but will not talk about selling.

There is one in operation at the Connections Museum in Seattle.
It is connected to one of the switching systems there.  I can't remember which one.
