Bob's Space Racers was showing off
their new "scaled down" version of Super
Shifter. Super Shifter has been a carnival
favorite for years and now this heavy duty
unit is being produced for the large arcades.
Of course, Vending International was
showing some new units which were
accepted very well. One unit was a bingo
game where the player relies on pure skill to
achieve a bingo line, box, or star in order to
win. This new unit is called Spin Ball.
Another new unit was a skill game that
dispenses a prize each time you win. The
game is called Wonder Wheel and was
accepted well by all the operators.
To end my review, I want to mention my
favorite booth at the AOE . This booth was
occupied by Sundance Dist. Co. of
Henderson, KY and featured only two units.
The first was a mean looking gun slinger that
challenged you to a draw ( and usually beat
you because your gun sights were off by a
foot!) but no one seemed to mind being
beaten by the gunslinger seeing as your next
unit didn't shoot back. In fact, every time
you took a shot at this lady, a stitch of
clothing came offl
I just kept running out of time!!!
Next show I'll do better! See you then
... "Bear".

BITS/sERVICE TRENDS SURVEY
SURVEY SHOWS TRENDS IN ELECTRONICS SALES AND SERVICE
Electronics sales and service businesses have increased in size in the past
three years, but the major increase has been in the higher technology of the
products these companies sell and service. This was pointed out in a survey of
persons attending the 1982 National Electronics Service Conference Trade
Show, and these were compared with an identical survey made at the 1979
exhibit.
Of the dealers surveyed in 1982, 60% were sales and service and 40%
service only - virtually identical to the '79 statistics.
A customer can purchase or receive repair services for almost any kind of
electronic equipment from these dealers, including televisions (90%), video
recorders (82%), computers (35%), auto sound or CB (35%), stereo
equipment ( 65 % ), and industrial and medical equipment. Three products not
listed on the 1979 survey have made a significant impact on the electronics
business in 1982. One third now sell or service TV games, nearly 50%
videodisc players, and 12% are selling and installing satellite dishes.
