synopsis
I got myself a Coinvox 22, reasonably cheap. The downside is: the inner workings have been stripped out, so it's just a metal box with keypad and display, a handset with hookswitch and a smalltransformer.
No coin mech, no ringer, no phone.
plans
- upload reference material of the Coinvox phones (hacktic, 't klaphek, telephone museums ([1][2][3][4][5][6][7])
- experiment with my (front fed) coin mech (or look for a top fed mech that fits)
- experiment with a cisco phone (see if I can use the softkeys and the AUX port to read quarters or just Euro coins
- connect an ATA to an old phone
todo
- identify ICs, obtain datasheet, determine pinouts
