I enjoyed your interview art-
icle with Jon Brady. We are
lucky to do bu ine with him.
He runs a very efficient company.
I think he really deserved Coin-
man of the Month, because in my
book h is Coinman of the Year.
Keep up the great work.

Play Meter is weat. But can't
you design your centerfold some
way 0 that it tears out more
easily and provide dates of the
differ nt meeting and convent-
ion on the back. It always eems
to create a problem taking out
the heet on hit records to hang
up in the programming center.
om more of my thoughts:
With the co t of games as they
are, why don't they all have
meter ? Al 0, mo t of the high
rev nu game are ba ed on
tim . Why not limit add -a-ball
pingame to one minute? Some
guy can keep a game going for
10-20 minute. Three to five
minute i plenty for a quarter.
It would bring in more quarter .
I al 0 have had everal re -
qu t for the old ll -foot Bally
bowling lane with the three -inch
ball. I had over 30 of them in 1957
and I till op rate about ix, but if
they would com out with a new
one, I'm ur it would ell,
e p cially with the new features
uch a huffle game have now .
