A/B coinbox mechanism 2

The coinbox works by holding the coins in suspension in a container which is controlled by two press buttons, A and B. To make a call, the caller would press Button A, depositing the coins in the cash box and setting up the circuit for speech. If the call could not be connected for any reason, the caller would press Button B to retrieve the coins.
