Mentioning John Finkler—you know him as the friendly,
jovia! and always helpful "Juke Box Johnny"—brings to
mind how much John would like to hear from his collector
friends all over the country. John is at home now, doing
much better. He has yet to regain some of his motor
reflexes as well as his voice, but he's just as interested in
coin machines as he ever was. You should see hi m explain
his find of a Mills SILVER CUP without speaking a word,
doing it all with his eyes and his hands. Johnny is a
courageous man with a courageous wife. I you'd like to
drop him a card and say hello, write to: "Juke Box
