FOR
JULY
1946
NEW EQUIPMENT DELIVERIES are slow but the settlement of
strikes has aided somewhat. Shortages still hamper
production. Jobbers and distributors visiting the main
plants in the Industry go home depressed with the
shortages of minor items which are holding up the
completion of units and delivery to waiting operators.
For the first time since the cessation of hostilities
the labor picture is good wi th a minimum of strikes in
effect. If the condition holds, suppliers will shortly
be supplying manufacturers with needed materials to
complete machines. Lots of other essential manufactur-
ing activity comes in for early consideration, too,
so don't look for a quick flood of new machines. It
just isn't in the cards for 1946 at least.
PHONOGRAPHS: Aireon is now delivering and all of the
52 appointed distributors are getting weekly shipments.
Mills is definitely in the moth balls until 1947. The
challenge phono has been bandied about and the industry
men connected with the promotion have checked out.
Distributors are still waiting for samples after many
promises. Wurlitzer continues to deliver but a lot of
criticism is abou~to break over Wurlitzer's advertising
of "America's Favorite Nickel's Worth Of Fun" on
billboards and national publications. Operators con-
tend Wurlitzer is stifling their chances to put the
single tune price to lOc, or 3 for 25c. Packard has
promised phonographs for June and distributors are
eagerly waiting. ~ock-Ol~ is delivering dribbles. BallY
is well along on phono production and samples are ex-
pected soon-but no defini te promises. SeeburL of course,
is out in front on deliveries. Williams.L ~2..z. and Gabel.!..
plus a new entry, are still non-committal.
GAMES: Ed Johnson's game, first tipped off in this de-
partment in our May issue, is now ready. Another new
Skee Ball machine, streamlined as all getout, will soon
be announced by a new West Coast Manufacturer and will
sell at a new low price. About July 15th is the date
on this one. A thousand of them are now in production
by a new plant previously engaged in war work.
MOVIE MACHINES: Mills is stymied at present because
of shortages. Metermovies will re-enter this field when
Bell & Howell proj ectors and motors are available
in sufficient quantities. ADD A NEW ONE: Eastman has
the rights to a selective coin-operated movie magazine
perfected by Sergeant Miller in the Army. Magazine,
same as the loads provided on Eastman movie cameras,
comes complete to the operator in any number of subjects
Eastman chooses to use-and all completely selective.
Those who have had a preview say it's hot!
VENDING: They're coming through. We speak primarily
of cigarette vendors. Rowe is delivering; as are U-Needa
and DuGrenier. Eastern-Electric expects to start de------
liveries momentarily. Lehig~ Fo~nd£ies are in the same
category. Stoner is shipping a few Univendors, and
Coan and American Vending are shipping candy bar vendors
in small lots. Candy is still short and the manu-
facturers are cautioning operators to be sure of their
candy supply before buying yendors. A smart move on
the manufacturers' part, for nothing is as unusable
as a Candy Vendor with no candy to vend through it. Make

your connections first. Outlook for candy is NOT im-
proved. Manufacturers are anxious to get operators'
names in anticipation of a better supply in 1947 but
there will not be even a fair amount of bars for candy
operators until early 1947. Sugar and other shortages
are the bottle neck.
BEVERAGE VENDORS are still being withheld because of
the sugar shortage. Expect · a terrific flurry in this
field in 1947. More than a dozen manufacturers (cautious
estimate) will eventually be active in this field and
the importance of some of the firms in the national manu-
facturing field will amaze you.
PARTS AND SUPPLIES for all types of equipment are com-
ing through in fair quantities attesting to the desire
of the manufacturers to keep old equipment operating
until they can supply market demands for new equipment.
OLD EQUIPMENT: It's still good to hang on to it until
you have adequate new equipment replacements. OPA has
issued a 4 per cent order decreasing the ceiling on
used automobiles but coin-controlled equipment was not
included. It is reasonable to assume that depreciation
is far ahead of this quarterly figure in our Industry
when normal supplies are available but at the moment
this is not the case. Please read "Trade Talk" in this
issue before trading in any new equipment.
