boxes as long as the songs are
different. So how about it? The
Copyright

Tribunal
(CRT) is getting us in the
pocketbook; so why shouldn't we
make someone else pay? Maybe
this would generate a protest
from someone other than the
operators and would help end this
expensive madness.

Unnoticed
I read with interest your
editorial concerning universal
cabinets in the December issue of
PLAY METER (page 4).
.
Their going unnoticed is noth-
ing new! We hav~ been manu-
facturing a product called Game
Brain that is basically a credit
only gaming machine utilizing the
same technique . Our unit, how-
ever, requires only the simple
changing of a plug-in memory
board that allows conversion
from a video slot (Bandito) to
Roulette, Craps, Blackjack, or
five others.
Keep up the good work.

This is my reply to the letter
you published from B.M.I. con-
cerning its share of the copyright
royalties, imposed fine, or what-
ever they want to call it.
Just what would the record
industry do if every operator in
the United States were to stop
buying records for a period of
ninety days or so? We operators
can all rely on our libraries, and
our customers would have to play
whatever we place in our juke-
PLAY METER, February, 1979
suggestions along these lines of
late. But it's hard to determine
how large a segment of the
jukebox industry feels the same
way. For something like a
boycott to be successful, all the
operators' efforts must be co-
ordinated. We at PLAY METER
in a recent "Mailbox" response
suggested a possible boycott of
all records from one of the
performing rights societies. But
would operators be interested in
such activism? Let us know, send
in your comments and sug-
