Kitta does it have a LAN port?
:rofl: :rofl:

Sorry just trying to get a laugh.

If it's from Gray, I would expect to see an AE part number like LPB-, LPA, LPC, etc. The next two digits tell if it's prepay, post pay, semi post pay, etc. A prepay AE would be something like LPB-82-55. Normally the AE payphones (no subset required) would have an metal plate on the top portion of the housing, above the dial and before the advertising sign. The stamping will indicate the model number and hence how it will need to be wired.

How about LPA 8255?

I also want to thank you all for the warm welcome.

And Mr. Daniel as if I know what a LAN port is in the first place(hope that brings a chuckle...).

Kitta, Hard to tell what you need to do without photos of what you have with the insides pictured. This is because some of them dont have ringers or networks which are required to operate the phone and many were refurbished and parts changed over the years.

How do I post pictures in here?

upload your pictures to a site like photobucket (you can get a free account) then copy the URL

when you post here hit the image button and paste the url in as prompted

or you could email me or any of the other mods the pictures and we will post them for you

I finally got the pictures loaded.



I want to thank you for all your time and help.
