[Jukebox-list] SEEBURG M100A TRIVIA

[The Jukebox Junkyard]

    This didn't hurt the sales. Any way, it under wraps they were 
collaborating with RCA to develop a box that would play the new seven-inch 
format RCA was gambling on to beat Columbia work on twelve inch records. Of 
course they won. Wes---- Original Message -----

I find it interesting that the Seeburg M100A was
designed without a popularity meter! This must be the
only "modern" jukebox that had none. My question is
why? How did the routeman know which records were
making money and which ones to take out?

Also of interest, is that it didn't come with a play
counter either, it was however available as an OPTION!
So the collector never knew if his machine was being
played honestly, or even how many plays it really made
other than counting the cashbox!

I can't imagine why they left off these two features
when earlier and all later machines had them. I would
think they are pretty important!
