The Editor
Dear Editor
I am sending you a copy of the claw machine I am starting to
restore. In the May issue of The Coin Slot, the article on the
Streets done by Nic Costa shows a picture of a similar machine.
Could you please forward the picture to Mr. Costa and ask
him to please send all the information he knows on this machine
to me.
I've written everywhere and had little response.
Thank you,
Marilynn Abrams
