[Jukebox-list] cashboxes?

[Ron Rich]

Jim,
  Thankx--that partly confirms the stories that I heard. I have heard that the number of "diverted" coins was "adjustable". I just have no idea how this was accomplished. I have also heard that some operators used this as some sort of "scam"--jipping the location out of their share--I have no idea if that's true or false--Ron Rich

  Hi Ron - while I'm not on par with Wes and Charlie, I am familiar with 
Rock-olas, mainly because as a young collector (with little play money), I 
had to "settle" for a 1940 Super instead of the Wurlitzer 750 I so badly 
wanted. Same reason I got a 1448 instead of a V200. But anyway, I've seen 
some literature on this setup - the coin system would divert every other 
nickel (that may have been adjustable to every third, fourth, or fifth - I 
just don't know) to a seperate cashbox for the location owner. There is a 
photo in 'Jukebox Saturday Night' on page 59 showing such a set-up - you can 
see the location owner's cashbox way over on the left of the machine. Notice 
the photo caption is wrong - this is a Master model instead of a '39 Deluxe. 
I can't imagine this option being very popular with operators.
