Push for P.R.
When are the manufacturers and dis-
tributors going to wake up that we need a
national public relations firm to help our
image and fight legi slation.
Somebody is saying we do over seven
billion a year, and I think at that figure we
sure co uld afford a good relations firm.

Your articl e in the July I issue con-
cerning coi n systems in amusement games
was direct ly relevant to the situati on at
hand . There is a bsol utel y no reason why
manufacturers cannot install a coin
acceptor that works on quarters- not
pennies, tokens, etc ... For $2,800 per game,
we ex pect quality and perhaps even a 10
cent clip to hang th e back door keys. Why
is it that it takes I 0 minutes to find a
volume control butt on on certain games?
RayVend presently operates over 1,000
amusement games in Maryland. Virginia,
a nd W ashi ngton D.C. areas. We encounter
coin acceptor problems many times on a
dail y basis at an average of over $20 a
service call. I feel the majority of the
problems relate directly back to the manu-
facturer. There is no exc use. Why should
we, the o perators. deal with the outrageous
service expe nse and many customer com-
pla ints when we don 't make th e coin
acceptors to begin with?
