Payphones have existed for 114 years. However, before their invention, customers used telephone stations. These were supervised by toll collecting telephone company attendants who then placed the customer's call.William Gray invented the unattended coin-operated payphone and made it available for purchase in 1891. Gray's phone was "post-pay" machine; it collected coins after customers made their calls. By 1913, the three-slot payphone had replaced Gray's original version. The newer phone had coin slots for nickels, dimes and quarters, and it required users to deposit money before placing calls. In 1965, the more modern single-coin payphone ended the three-slot model's 52-year run
This is a Gray 23J 3 slot Paystation with Northern Electric F1 handset. A 684 subset has been added for both ringing and connecting to a modern network. Both pieces have then been mounted to a backboard for easy installation, diaplay and functionality.The paystation includes keys for both the top housing, and for the vault.
