got a new box at the time and made it look seedy.  If Seeburg provided the
equipment, they didn't get their value from the product placement.  Maybe
everybody figured that visible mechanisms were a thing of the past and they
just marked time with the DS waiting for the new "modern" styles.

The DS model was five years old when the movie was made...so it was entirely
suitable for a seedier establishment by that time.  I bet that cafe was low
on the list for the local op's rotation list!  I doubt the prop was provided
by Seeburg.
