Abstract:

Disclosed herein is an escutcheon for concealing a relatively expensive electronic apparatus, particularly magnetic tape players disposed in automobiles and the like. The escutcheon includes a face plate having indicia disposed on a front face thereof suggestive of a relatively inexpensive AM radio. The escutcheon includes means insertable into a receptacle provided for receiving magnetic tape magazines for firmly anchoring the escutcheon onto the magnetic tape player. The escutcheon disguises the appearance of an expensive electronic apparatus as an inexpensive radio to conceal its identity so as to thwart thieves.
