[Jukebox-list] RE: Classical Records on a Juke ???

[Wesley Dean]

    Aaron, playing the right side first has nothing to do with playing the left side except if both sides are selected, then it will immediately play the left side after it has finished with the right side. 
The left side will not play unless it has also been selected. 
    This mechanism was first developed for use in the SICM, designed for commercial background  music, along with playing twelve inch classical records.  This was a ploy to conceal their motives on producing a revolutionary juke that played one hundred selections while the competition was pushing twenty and twenty-four tunes. It really paid off for Seeburg. Wes

So you're saying that the A will pick a record from the rack as it travels from right to left...it will play what's equal to the B-side first, then cancel and immediately play the A-Side before it puts the record back in the rack, travels again to the left, then grabs another record? So if that's correct, you can't select JUST the A side or B side of a record to listen to? You're essentialy picking the ENTIRE record as your listening choice? If this is indeed the case, how would bars make any money off an A if you automatically got two plays for the price of one? I could see how such a system would be dynomite for playing 33 rpm records if the jukebox was converted. Again, I've never seen an A in operation so I'm clueless when it comes to talking about the theory behind one.
