DaOld Man:
Does anyone have a payphone in their arcade room?
I think it would be neat to have an 80's style working pay phone..
Pics of said phones would be nice.
Hawk Daddy:
eBay Link

Better Hurry if you want it.

I install and repair payphones. There's lots of bargains on ebay with all the ones pulled out of service from lack of use. Get one with either an Elcotel or Protel brand circuit board in it. Don't both with an Ernest Telecom or Intellicall brand---they suck.
Sidgoop:
Yep, I got one about 2 years ago when Bellsouth was de-commissiong a lot of their payphones.  They were letting them go for $150 - fully converted for home use.  It's in one of the corners in my gameroom/bar.  I've trying to find plans to build an old-fashioned phone booth (the old wooden ones inside restaurants and bars, not the metal/glass ones that used to be on the street.  Here's a pic -

DaOld Man:
Thanks Hawk, but looks like I missed out on that one.

Ken, thanks for the info. How can I tell what kind of board it has, if it's not mentioned in the description on ebay?

Sidgoop: I like your payphone. Thats the kind of phone I want. I think the booth is a great idea, I was thinking maybe one of the signs you can get on ebay, hang it on the wall above the phone, but the booth would be better, if you had the room for it.
