Step 6The booth
Typical pay phones either require a backing plate or a enclosure due to the fact that they weigh at
least 45 lbs. This weight would destroy wallboard. I found and chose a simple indoor enclosure
and built it on top of a shelf versus hanging on a wall, I replicated it myself. I chose to use 3/4"
mdf which I found to be rather sound material. But I would recommend using mdf screws they
grind through and prevent splitting when drilled in slow. As far as paint, flat black paint as always
and I attached the phone with bolts. Add power and phone line, program the smart board and
presto you have dial tone.

Also, I want to buy one, what do I need to look out for besides getting all keys?
I want one to hook up at home phoneline (I understood some are not able to do this), then the programming part, is this easy or are you obliged to call someone to program this for big bucks?
