On page 61 of the April 15 issue
of Play Met er, you mentioned that
Sigma Enterprises of Tokyo, Japan,

able as kits also .
I have a few Sigma machines,
namely Spiders, that are badly in
need of conversion kits . Please send

obtain kits for the Sigma machines,
or who I can contact o n this matter.

Audio VisuQI
Amusements
Clarification
I would like to clarify an item that
appeared in a feature on Audio
Visual Amusements, a Sr. Louis dis-
tributor and a competitor of mine.
(Play Meter, May 1, p. 32) After
mentioning how other disrribs in Sr.
Louis have closed while A.V.A.
thrived, your article says that Bally
Midwest (where I was manager)
"struggled, and replaced branch
manager Joe McCarthy with former
World Wide manager Jerry Wom-
ble."
This is nor, in my opinion, accu-
rate reporting. I resigned from Bally
Midwest in February and immedi-
ately took a position with Atari
Distributing. The move had nothing
whatsoever to do with A.V .A. or irs
business. Bally Midwest Sr. Louis's
marker penetration and efficiency,
while I was manager, is a matter of
record that was not fairly portrayed
by your article.
Otherwise I like your magazine
and articles very much.
