Old Phone Junk Yard Info

I’ve worked in the telecom industry for 46 years with my speciality being payphones. I have also been interested in old telephones in general. I have amassed many  old telephones, parts and pieces – and – decided it was time to create a website deacaded  to just selling the parts and phones as aquired. So don’t ask me wiring questions as I am not interested in making your phone work;  I spent years making phones work and don’t want to do that any longer. However, as time progresses I will try and add more and more to this website to assist others on there own projects. 

  One of the things I will be selling on this site is keys for single slot payphones and 3 slot payphones. As far as I know I am the only guy that can cut these keys and has the blanks. I also have reproduced some common parts. 

As far as payphones are concerned you are better off buying them when they have keys. Lower older payphone vaults were all keyed different. So if you dont have the key when you buy it, you will probably never find it. Single slot Western Electric payphones have the coin return bucket on the left, Private payphones have the coin return bucket on the right. Good luck on your project.
