Finished Product


Phone is now connected to an actual Western Electric coin trunk and operates just like it did when in service.
Here is the schematic for the phone showing the connections to a 685A Subset.

I would like to thank Bud Breslin, Paul Wills and Mike Davis for their help on this project.
