Where in lower Manhattan can I find an old fashioned photo booth - the
kind that takes four pictures all in a column?

I need a very quick answer to this: by 10 am EST Thursday October 3.
Payment goes out if answer is received by that time, and if there
REALLY IS a working photo booth at the answer location. Photo booth
must be in location that is open during the day.

Either black and white or color is OK.

Thank you...

Here are two places in lower Manhattan (both near Tompkins Square
Park) that have (working) old fashioned photo booths:

Lakeside Lounge
162 Ave B
New York, NY 10009-4644 
Phone: (212) 529-8463

Their photo booth was salvaged from the Asbury Park boardwalk and you
can actually view some photos taken with it on their site:

Barmacy 
538 E 14th St
New York, NY 10010-5332 
Phone: (212) 228-2240

Please note that both of the above locations do not open until 4pm
(although they may be open a little earlier on any given day).  If
this is too late in the day for you, please let me know and I will
attempt to locate some additional places that open earlier in the day.
 Please specify the hours that you need the location to be open.

I'm pretty certain that it is *not* an old fashioned photo booth, but
there is a unique one at the Times Square Visitors Center.  They have
"a photo booth that allows visitors to have their photo taken - for
free - and then projected on a 3,000 sq. ft. sign on 2 Times Square." 
It's open from 8am to 8pm:

Times Square Visitors Center
1560 Broadway
(between 46th and 47th Streets)
New York, NY 10036
Phone: (212) 869-1890

Terrific, leep! Unfortunately I need one a bit earlier then that --
I'm leaving Manhattan at noon, and probably won't be able to check
google answers again before I leave. But you answered the question
exactly as specified, so I'll pay out.
Would you please tell me your search path for this info? 
Thanks very very much!

I'm currently checking for any pre-noon places.  The problem is that
many of the places with old booths are "hip" places that don't open up
until later in the day.

You don't need to look anymore, leep... I'm not in NY anymore. Thanks!
