ABSTRACT:
A telephone is secured against vandalism involving inserting a bare electrically conductive wire through the slot in the MEDECO lock securing the upper housing to the main housing. The free end of the inserted wire is made to contact either the "12" or the "1" terminal on the key pad on the back of the dial housing, to place system ground on the relay controlling the coin switch at the bottom of the chute for inserted coins and neutralize it so that coins can not be released to the coin box if a call is completed nor to the coin return bucket if a call is not completed. An advantageously shaped and located and mounted wire guard prevents the vandalism. The thin guard includes a wire blocking portion, a flange mounting portion, and intermediate portion connecting the blocking and mounting portions, and an inturned portion on its free end for overlying the terminals.
