Does anyone have a good resource for payphones? I picked one up recently, but can't find a manual or much info on it. The only identifying marks are on the PCB inside it, which says it's an Ernest Group, Model EG, Series LPI. It's a similar style to the Western Electric/Bell "Fortress," but not identical. Date codes on the ICs mean it came off the line in the 1998-9 timeframe. No display, but there's a connector on the board for one.
There's a three-position .156" header labeled "TELCO," so I assume this isn't a COCOT style phone, and needs external control for the coin stuff. I think I can probably figure that out, since it's likely to be the same as similar phones, but I'd love to find a manual so I can figure out how to program it.
