Old timers
How about an article on some
of the older operators? My own
father recently turned eighty
years old and is stilI operating.
Also, I'd like to see a history of
jukeboxes, and their predeces-
sors, the player pianos.

Serial num bers
We have had a problem of new
machines being stolen in the
Indianapolis, Indiana area (six
machines in one weekend, No-
vember 10th and 11th). Three
were ours and the other three
belonged to another company .
Our machines were two Space
Invaders #28002 and #30107 and
one Head-On #11429. The other
company lost one upright Space
Invaders, one cocktail table
Space Invaders and one Playboy
pinball .
If you could publish these serial
numbers in your magazine or the
PLAY METER Update we would
appreciate it very much. Also,
you might warn other operators
to be aware of what is happening
and advise what kinds of insu-
rance they should carry, who it is
available through and what secu-
rity measures t hey should take.

enough, came at a time when we
at PLAY METER were thinking
about doing just what you've
suggested-devoting an entire
issue to the "old timers," the
backbone of the coin-operated
industry.
We'd like to take this opportu-
nity to request that our readers
send in the names of older
operators, whom we might con-
tact for interviews. We're sure
that they've lived through ex-
periences too interesting to be
lost just because no one · yet has
taken the time to record them.]
