## Description

Product Description In a world dominated by pocket-sized phones, it's nice to remember the days of colorful phone booths and the jingle of coins dropping in. Rediscover the past with the 1950s Payphone from Crosley, reproduced down to the rotary-style push buttons. Even more fantastic is that this vintage-style phone doesn't require your coins—it helps you save them instead! Squirrel away your loose change with the built-in coin bank. From the Manufacturer The very familiar three-slot style pay phone was first introduced in the 1950's and remained virtually unchanged until 1965. This appropriately christened prepay-style pay station will take you back to the days of old fashioned phone booths and 10-cent phone calls. Believe it or not, its predecessor was a post pay-style phone that actually allowed the caller to place their call and then pay once finished. While you don't have to pay for your calls with this Crosley replica, you will enjoy the functional coin slots complete with Crosley jingle as your money is deposited into the coin bank in the base of the unit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is a key included for the coin box?**
A: Yes, it comes with a key.  When it's closed, it's locked, you have to use the key to open it.  But you don't have to use coins to make a call, it's just a fun feature.  It is cool looking on our wall, we like it!

**Q: Is the handset on the right or left?**
A: On the left as pictured. No way to change it.

**Q: Will this phone work in Austrlia?**
A: Im sorry, but I have no idea. I would contact the manufacturer and ask them the specific type of cord used to see if it is compatible with Australian phone outlets. Good luck!

**Q: Do the touch tone number buttons light up?**
A: No, they don't light up. It includes 0-9 and the # and * keys. They're all touchtone. It's not rotary. And the coins collect at the bottom, which is opened with the two keys they provide. It's a very nice phone and a conversation piece as well. You'll need a plug and phone jack for it to work.
