Payphones Past

Old Dead Phone at the Penn Station 1/2/3.

This beauty lurks at 7th Avenue at 33rd street, downstairs in the Penn Station 1/2/3 station, outside the Sbarro. No identifying information remains with respect to which of New York’s once-abundant independent payphone service providers left this one behind. What a phone like this needs, of course, is a couple of Payphone Radio cards to make it relevant once again.
