BARBARA CUMMINGS (London 104)

London Records makes a strong bid to break into the country market with this Barbara Cummings debut called “She’s The Woman.” The songstress comes across with an emotion-filled, woesy stand that could well be the beginning of big things for her. “There’s Something Funny Going On” is a bouncy tale of bad news. SOMETHING EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW!

Cash Box December 1 966- InternaHonal — 17, Section 63 I COIN MACHINES & VENDING Next week Cash Box will publish its annual Year-End Review issue, which will include a summation of what has happened to the coin industry during the year and what

could happen in 1967.

Perhaps it is too early for a final count; years, like

yeast, seem blown up at first, but eventually they settle and solidify. But some conclusions can be drawn.

Sales for this year are what they should be; there have been no great booms, but there have been no great re- cessions. The news of the year centers around ideas; new machines or innovations on familiar equipment.

It seems certain now that the operator, as a trade fig-

ure, is being scored on the basis of who merchandises

and doesn’t, who will merchandise or won’t. The coin-

operated phonograph now includes virtually all features

possible or necessary to sell itself, short of a mechanical arm that would extend from the cabinet and drag patrons over or magnets that would draw coins out of trousers and pocketbooks. Casli Box Editorial The audio-visual, despite a rough start, seems to be the next big item in an industry that has been seeking

new equipment. There have been innovations in pin- games and pooltabies and the operator has turned more and more to dry vending.

Many industry figures believe that the industry has

barely begun to come into its own; others hold that noth- Closer To Spring ing will ever compare with the Great Days of the Thirties.

These two camps, one pushing, the other pulling, will eventually determine the future of the trade.

Of course, the competition for locations and the vari- ous agonies and anecdotes about getting them are differ- ent from city to city. And there are some pastoral routes which present the ideal Jukebox Scene—people dancing while the counterman serves up the hash and coffee.

There is something, after all, rather winning about a juke- box on a highway late at night, complete with lipstick quarters and humming waitresses.

But it is also evident that with the fierce contests for

locations in the great cities new locations will have

to be found. This means (1) a new machine or (2) a breaking of old taboos, many of them self-imposed. The

“class location’’ is the big rock candy mountain of the

trade, longed-for but supposedly untouchable. It is not

untouchable, and the industry is, this year, closer to it.

There have never been phonographs before that were so flexible and versatile; they have been designed that way and the wise operator can make the most of them. The MOA has never been so strong before—anyone who attended the October convention can attest to that.

Be it bubbling or willy-nilly, the industry is growing up

to new ideas and a better idea of what it is and what it

can be. This is good, but it is also essential. Since it is winter now, with ice and snow, an analogy can be drawn —the familiar one about the warm water beneath the

ice. Eventually it wins and breaks free. The coin machine

industry, with this year, is a little closer to spring.

well. I think that you should appoint an objective man to do the legwork and make the telephone calls and go see the legislators. Now, the usual operator reply is, “We can’t afford it”. Well, they can afford it and it’s the best investment they’ll ever make. Take Fred Granger for an example. I think he’s the best thing that ever happened to MOA. Q. What are some of the other rea- sons? A. Some associations don’t meet often enough. If you can get operators to meet—it depends on the geography of your state. Like Florida, Texas, New York, California are large states and the answer there, I think, is to break down the association into small- er groups for the various sections of the state, so that people in one sec- tion can meet conveniently. I find that by breaking bread with your fellow operator you get a lot more done. Lack of coordination and cooperation between the operators is the core of the problem, and it affects the asso- ciation. Q. You’ve said that you have several programs in mind for next year.

NEW bonus

Open-and-Closed Flippers are only one of many new money-making

features crammed into BAZAAR. Another is the exciting new ball-to-ball

carry-over Super-Bonus, which advances each time all four L-U-C-K

Lamps are lit by skill, scores Points, Replays or Added Balls.

Another play-boosting feature is the tantalizing Red Arrow action,

constantly shifting score-value of Bumpers ... and big-score Top

Rollovers, which jump from 10 to 200, 100 or 50 on Rebound bounce-off

...and easy-open Free-Ball Gate, which opens when center Top

Rollover is hit or Gate-Bumper is hit with Red Arrow lit ... and .. . but
