GTE Payphone Booths (Seattle Area) Guaging Interest
Hi all,
I've found a small stash of retired GTE payphone booths. They are Western Electric style (also referred to as Superman phone booths) and may or may not have accordion folding doors.
Is there any interest in the arcade community to buy these for your game rooms? They would sell for around $150 without phone and $200 with phone.
These are rugged and totally water proof. They would be sold in the rough in the shape they were in when pulled from service. I would only sell ones with good glass, though they may need to be repaired electrically. Last one I purchased had bad ballasts for the florescent lights. Other than that they run off of 110v and the payphones can be majiggered to run without coins.
I couldn't ship, but could palletize them if out of towners wanted to arrange delivery.
Again, this is preliminary. I haven't purchased them yet and hate to do so if there is no interest in them.
UPDATE: I have one booth for sale. Price is $150 and pictures can be found here.
