Coin Slot
Issue: 1981 October 080 - Page 16
Coin Slot Magazine - #080 - 1981 - October [International Arcade Museum]
Editors Statement
Rosanna Harris
A change of any kind must be sparked by a special
interest, a desire to be or make something better. That
is particularly true of any kind of periodic written
material; the content obviously has to be changed in
order to hold reader interest. Occasionally other
changes must occur, sometimes subtle and other
times very bold. Many of you have been with us
through a number of changes in The Coin Slot and as
you know, each revision or new step was carefully
calculated to bring something worthwhile to our
readers. This last year has been highlighted with a
number of changes and as we promised before, we
have more for you.
Beginning with our November issue, our cover will be
full, four color and each month will feature a special
machine — slot, trade stimulator, arcade machine,
gumball, jukebox, pinball or some related item — on
the cover. Now more than ever we need to know what
you would like to see and read about. It also offers a
special challenge to some of you to try your hand at
writing.
Our November issue will also feature the beginning
of a series of updates on the state laws. We are in the
process of receiving actual copies of the laws from
each state, including those which have not yet enacted
any affirmative legislation. This is another step in our
effort to aid in changing the state laws in favor of you
collectors.
We received good response in our quest to find a
new managing editor. We have been very successful
and have found someone deeply interested in coin-op
and with a background in the magazine industry. We
will formally introduce Debi Knight in our November
issue. It only seems fitting that you meet Debi in
conjunction with our largest project thus far.
We have seen a lot of growth since February of 1980
and we're really excited about the great prospects of
the next few months.
