FSH stands for F-ck Sh-t Happens when you pay a $1.50 for a call and you only get 2 minutes and that's all the money you have - lol

Oh, how cool, Mike! But what kind of alien device is this, anyway?? Even more amazing.... It's clean with no graffiti, half eaten sandwiches, half empty wine bottles, or funny latex things laying on the little shelf.. I remember years ago when I was doing field service work.... These things were everywhere..... Can't even begin to remember how many quarters I lost in these things.... This must be one of the 10 or so still in existance.

What a rare find with the new technology of cell phones these have been outdated and removed in many areas. Aw I remember .25cents for local calls and running out of time on long distance, only to hear the live operater asking for more money. That was part of the good ole days!!

What a flash-back. Relied totally on those things when the pager ("bellboy") went off. Knew my route and where all of them were. Plus, needed a dime.

4 minutes for a $1 - and I remember when it was a dime and you got an operator.
