The cover montage depicts the Victorian Casino Antique Auction held in Las Vegas,
Nevada May 1st and 2nd and I might add the weather was very ideal. The auction fea
tured nearly every conceivable collectable imaginable, among which were beautiful
upright wheels of fortune, carved polk figures, counter games, arcade items, back bars,
large American Photo Player as well as the numerous coin pianos offered for sale,
from common A. pianos to elaborate orchestrations. Also included was an assort
ment of silent movie projectors and a large assortment of film, old movie posters,
an assortment of juke boxes and a collection of Edison Cylinder phonographs. Watch
for news of the next auction to be held in October of this year.

Harris of Wheatridge, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. Effective with this issue the
following changes will be in effect. The present issue is No. 17, dated June, and

The Coin Slot will remain the same size, 5%" x 81/2f', at the present time, but it will
