ABSTRACT:
A coin receiving prepay telephone station for local calls includes a telephone receiver and transmitter with a handset and a supporting hook switch cradle therefor. The station further includes a coin chute having an open end for receiving a coin and a lower end for discharging coins into a coin box. A solenoid controlled arm is movable transversely into and out of the coin chute adjacent a level near the open end for normally retaining a coin deposited in the chute in a partially exposed retrievable position permitting manual extraction from the chute if a call dialed from the station is not answered. Circuitry is provided for activating the solenoid controlled arm to move out of the coin chute permitting the coin previously retained therein to drop into the coin box when a called party answers a call of over three digits dialed at the station.
