Latest Buy--War Department Approved!

I have the same phone as Brian but all chrome... Bought it back through customs a couple of years ago and they tested it for explosives... Should have seen their faces when it showed up on the x-ray in the back of rucsack.

I need a front door for mine. Apparantly is a common thing for them to be missing I guess because people bust them open to get the money out...

Does anynoe know where I can get one from... Not bothered if its original or new black or chrome...

Cheers

They sohw up almost daily on Ebay, serxch for Payphone or Pay telephhone.
Phone restoration  place also sell them, but you will get a better deal on Ebay.
I cna't wait to move the phone both out of Pop's garage into the game room, i have a WE 3 coin rotary payphone, and no intention of telling people it doesn't need coins to make a call.

Kilroy,

Nope--the one that I like is the AE 50.  Sometimes called the jukebox phone.

This is the one that I want but I don't want to pay $350 for it!

Jim,

Those desk phones are cool too!  I guess it would be fun to have one of those behind the bar like in the old movies.  You could pull it out from under the bar and tell your friends that they have a call when the wives are looking for them!
