[Jukebox-list] Trashcan is together!

[Jens Hultgren]

Good morning Jackie,

the pilasters for wooden and metal Trashycans are quite different and do not
interchange.

Seems like the repros for wooden Trashcans also have their problems. They've
been reproduced for 25 years now, and still the same cussing when installing
them it seems, LOL.

Sometimes we get annoyed with the reproduction makers such as Victory Glass,
I do too, but I am very grateful for the products they provide.
