FS: Automatic Electric Co. Pay Phone Lock

[Robotnik]

Selling an Automatic Electric Co. pay phone lock with two keys. Believe it's an 8-lever lock, key number is 462428, model 10-L.

Keys are operable, but both are slightly bent (see pic; looks like someone put way too much force into opening and twisted them).

Just sold one of these on eBay for $90, but asking $45 shipped to USA on account of the keys. PM me if interested

I have a couple of these locks but this one seems to have an extra security feature? What's that bit cut out on the bottom of the key for?

That edge of the key appears to have cuts for some pins or bearings on the side of the keyway opposite the levers. Photo below.

Wow, awesome addition. Looking at the ball bearings in the keyway there it looks like they're active, with their own pin stacks, like the DOM xx KG. So you'd have to get those into position before even starting to turn the plug in order to pick it.

I wonder if they have the other distinctive feature of the Western Electric 30C? Like the lever 'grabber'. Cool lock.
