[Jukebox-list] free play setting seeburg red box

[Steve Wahl]

Hey, for those of us on the fringe: What jukes was the red box system
in, vs. the grey & black?  

Jens mentions 3 digits vs. 2; I suppose an educated guess would be
there were some 100 select seeburgs with the red box, vs. the more
common 160 select seeburgs, which would have the black & grey boxes.

Is that close?
