1980s Japanese payphone with fully working audio and coins
This is an old 675P semi-public Japanese payphone from the 1980s. Often found in private businesses, especially tobacco shops.
Put together the best-condition pieces from a couple units, and hooked it up to this neat little device that lets it operate as a landline through your smartphone on Bluetooth. It even sends the pay signals to check for coins, so you can operate it as originally intended (10 yen for 1 minute, 100 yen for 10 minutes).
Now every call I get rings through the payphone. There‘s also a key switch to turn it to free calling mode, so it can just be used as a normal landline.
Happy to answer any questions. Many of this type of unit available to purchase on Japanese auction sites.
