Old Phone Booth and Soda Machine

Discovered around East Little Creek in Norfolk was an old red Bell Atlantic telephone booth, asking $260. Inside the booth is a small built-in bench to sit at while making a phone call. The unit is made out of wood and nicely painted all red with a well lit sign above the hinged bi-folding door. There is a handle inside the door for shutting your conversion off from the world, separated by a pane of glass.

To the left of the phone booth sat a classic Pepsi soda machine with a $150 tag. The dispenser operated by gravity with a steep slope to serve the canned beverage, the condenser is found at the bottom of the unit. The coin mechanism is very simple and has a change return. There is a good bit of rusting and chipped paint but in the proper hands could be restored nicely.

Here is a picture of the top, back sides of the telephone booth and soda machine.
