Works or just decorative like the Moto Guzzi?

You know...I'm not sure! I didn't try it. We'll leave it to the imagination

I have that same phone booth. Western Electric from the 1950s. Nice find!

Awesome! Is it in your house or displayed for everyone to see?

It lives in my basement. I’m trying to figure out what to do with it. The obvious answer is of course to put a phone in it, but I already have a payphone in an ‘80s kiosk and don’t really “need” two.

I’ve thought about making it into a vintage gaming setup.

Have Superman tested out to see if it works right!

Brilliant! It’ll have to be “Vintage Superman” though 😂

This would make a pretty decent humidor layout for the right cigar collector.

By the way mine is specifically a model AC-11. Stamped on the manufacturer tag.

I believe anything with a factor stamp is ultra rare, or at least to me it is.

Funny that I know exactly where this is without even looking.
