[Jukebox-list] "Lexan"-was:1650 Dome

[Ron Rich]

Lexan is a TM of GE. It's first use in a jukebox, as far as I know, was by "Coin Acceptors" to replace the "gold colored metal" used in coin handling equipment. It was also "gold colored", and was advertised to be "unbreakable". I hope that they do not use that ad any more ! Ron Rich
