Singer interview
Your interview with Craig
Singer (PM, August, p.9) was
very good; however, you left out
one important aspect-he's the
greatest man in the world to
work for!

talk to my one-stop , and make up
a record order if the majority of
records I ordered have such poor
quality control that I can't use
them on our boxes. For example,
"Kiss You All Over h by Exile had
the spindle hole off·center, and
Linda Ronstadt's last record had
the same problem
Another problem for us is that
the cutoff groove is faulty. We
cover parts of three states, and
faulty records such as these
really become a problem for us.

New kid
As a "new kid" in the
amusement industry, I read your
Sam Stern Coinman interview
(PM, Sept., P.14) with great
interest. Sam Stern was the first
manufacturer outside of Cine·
matronics that I ever met, and
your interview with him made
him as interesting in print as he is
in person.
I was sorry to hear that Stern
Electronics is not planning to use
the multi-level playfield that
Louis Boasberg and others have
advocated, but his other ideas on
our industry and its future show
that he will continue to be a
positive force for years to come.
Thanks for a most interesting
feature.

Finally
Wants prices
You are doing a great job.
Keep it up.
The only thing lacking is prices
on new equipment.

We enjoy your magazine on the
coin machine trade, especially
your articles in the public
relations of the present and
future of our business.
After many years we have
finally lived down the stigma of
the one-armed bandit and the
good old bingo games.

Record problems
What good does it do me to
check the charts, get requests,
Today, when people talk of
tools of the trade, most of us
think of equipment such as
hammers, saws, screwdrivers,
meters, scopes, etc. The new
tools are just now being used
correctly, but almost always the
tools are not noticed by the right
people. Those who recognize
them are those who don't
absolutely need them, but use
them to maintain their knowl-
edge. Knowledge is the most
important resource in the world
today.
Some such tools come in the
form of instructors, technicians,
