Western Electric line producing coin phones
Reconditioned old coin phone^ k are
rolling off the assembly line at Western
Electric in Plymouth at the rate
of 50 phones a week.
The coin phones—old models which
have been removed from service—are
being reconditioned here to become
part of Michigan Bell's "Design Line"
of decorative phones.
Four styles of reconditioned coin
phones and 12 other models of decorative
phones are being sold to custom-
ers throughout the state. A display is
in the office of Michigan Bell in
Plymouth on Main Street next to the
Plymouth Observer & Eccentric office.
The exterior housing of -the
phones—including the coin modelsare
sold directly to customers. The
telephone company, however, retains
ownership of the working components
and is responsible for their mainte-
Frank Clink inspects old coin phones which will be reconditioned.

nance, explains Haze Wilson, Michigan
Bell local manager.
The old coin phones are given "new
life" at Western s Michigan Service
Center on Sheldon Road. "At the center
the old phones are disassembled,
repainted and put in top working condition,"
says Wilson.
"WHEN THEY leave here, they
work like any of our other phones but
you dont have to deposit a dime to
make a call with one of the Design
Line coin phones."
The bell has been relocated in each
coin phone "so that if you want to
drop change in the coin slots you can
still hear the authentic sounds of coins
striking the bell. But this way you can
get your money back because the inte-
rior of the phone has been converted
into a bank. "
Up until now, Wilson explains, old
coin phones were stripped of all recyclable
or salvageable parts and the
rest was sold as scrap.
"But now we are offering unusual
conversation pieces and preventing
these old phones from becoming extinct
like so many phones from the
past "
The coin phones—from $115 to
$130—are shipped directly from the
Western Electric Center to the buyer
and can be plugged into a jack if one
is available. If not, the company will
install a jack Regular monthly
charges and service connection fees
also apply.
The housings carry a six-month warranty.
