First, apologies if this is the wrong forum - I wasn't sure about this one...
I picked up a set of F seats from eBay that came out of an old Continental MD-80 for use in my office/screening room. They're in really nice shape, and they still have the old GTE Airfones in the back of the seats. I know it was a satellite calling system when it was actually in use, but they also have regular old telephone jacks on them (I assume for servicing and testing). Simply plugging them into my home phone line doesn't work of course, but I'm wondering if anyone has any sort of knowledge about these systems and if my plan to make them into a usable "house phone" is feasible. I imagine they also need some sort of power source at the least, but I'm having trouble finding any sort of technical info online about them.
Any info or direction is appreciated very much!!
