If your looking to get your vintage phones working on a cheap PBX you can fit the Rotatone module to convert your phones to support tone dialing. They are £25 a pop though so not the cheapest option if your looking to fit a "fleet" of phones.

You could get a cheap PBX, like an Orchid, 2nd hand for about £30, fit, say, two phones with a Rotatone and connect the rest of your phones so they can't dial out but can be called. So or less than £100 you should have a pretty good system, all be it with some compromise.
