With summer effectively behind us we are moving into

on you for help.
The dust has settled around the Paul Landsgaard case,

City, N.Y. There are many more that are forthcoming
but don't let it skip too quickly from your memories. If you

California sponsored by Loose Change and as they would
say in rodeo terms, the Grand-daddy of them all - Roy
Arrington's auction in Las Vegas. With all of these ahead of
us in the next two months we will get an ever better pulse
on the market of coin-operated collectibles and other
related paraphenalia. In this regard we have somewhat of a
dilemma. It is going to be impossible for us (The Coin Slot
staff) to attend all of the auctions and shows. A few of our
readers have already approached us about submitting
articles and pictures of some of the events. We would like
to have any of you who would be interested in covering
one or more of the auctions, contact us about the details.

only 2 months, but extremely have enjoyed it so far. The
information on machines described shows a lot of research work
which seems very accurate. The single selling point of your
publication is time devoted to answer individual questions
about their machines. Often alot of us have the same or similar
questions. Also, I believe it would be beneficial to all persons
with parts/machines for sale to advertise in the Coin Slot.
Helping people find parts is an important service appreciated by
all.
LETTERS
TO
THE
EDITOR
J.R. Linton
Dear Mr. Linton,
Thank you for your letter. We are always happy to hear that
our readers enjoy the magazine and find at least some of the
information helpful. Having been a teacher at one time, I know
how important it is to answer as many questions as possible. It
seems that often more is learned during the question and answer
period than at any other time.
We agree that the advertising of parts/ services is very
beneficial. At one time we offered the space free, but our costs
have soared. Recently we amended our rates so that more
people could advertise.

Dear Editor,
Thank you for the four copies of the September issue of The
Coin Slot and your kind invitation to write for you. There are a
number of items I have in mind which might qualify for a letter
or an article. If Jerry Kenzer was incorrect concerning the
current law on interstate shipment of machines, I shall continue
my research of cases related to that problem. Perhaps some
responses to my letter will "clear the air." All who cite litigation
should be encouraged to include the case title and the law book,
by volume and page number, in which the case is reported.
If all goes well, I expect to visit my home-town in Montana
We hope this will encourage more
people to take advantage of the classified section.
Again
thank you for your letters and thanks for the
compliment.
Sincerely,
Editor
Dear Editor,
I am a recent subscriber of your publication and have enjoyed
reading the articles of the magazine. However, I wish to
comment on your decision not to print the dollar amounts of
coin-operated machines any longer, as indicated in your
"Editor's Statement" in the August issue of "The Coin Slot".
In my opinion, the dollar amounts of coin-operated machines
sold at auctions should be included in your magazine articles of

way of Denver. If convenient, I would like to visit your shop in
Wheatridge.

Dear John,
At the present time we do not have available any information
on oldplaying cards. This is an area where we will solicit the help
of our readers.
If any of you have information write a letter or better yet an
article. We'll be waiting to hear from you.
