Coin Slot Magazine - #084 - 1982 - February [International Arcade Museum]
ON THE COVER
The Jennings PERFECTED JACKPOT "Blue Boy" Bell Machine.
The two elfin characters known as "Blue Boys" took up new positions
on the PERFECTED JACKPOT of 1930. They danced from the bottom
of the case to the top.
There are several other changes as explained in the excerpt from "An
Illustrated Price Guide to the 100 Most Collectible Slot Machines,
Volume 3" on page 14.
The Jennings PERFECTED JACKPOT"Blue Boy" Bell Machine on the
cover was restored by Jeff Frahm of St. Louis Slot Machine Co. and the
photo is courtesy of Jeff Frahm and Tom Kolbrener.

It probably comes as no surprise that the many changes we instituted
also caused other changes. One of those changes was that beginning
with our January, 1982, issue our advertising rates had to be adjusted
upward. Our display advertising rate card is available upon request.
We are very happy about the response our display advertisers have
received from repeated ads in The Coin Slot. They are reaching the
people genuinely interested in their services and items for sale.
Our classified advertising rates have also increased. It is still a
bargain at $4.00 for the first 30 words and 25$ for each additional word.
This is an excellent time to say thank you to our advertisers — both
display advertisers and classified advertisers.
