For Al Jarreau, Breakin' Away was the album, Dawnbreaker and Garden Rake were the recording studios and the kids of ColorSounds were the winners. So far, over a quarter of a million dollars in Golden Reel contributions have gone to designated charities. For children’s diseases. The arts. Environ- mental associations. The needy.

Cash Box surveyed operators from throughout the nation to assemble the data for this year's survey. Of those who responded, 60% operate routes with over 100 locations; 35% have between 50-100 locations; and 5% have under 50 locations. A number of new questions were incorporated into the 1982sur- vey format, in line with the current operating environment and the state of the economy. Following are the results of our survey. EARNINGS Estimated weekly gross on the following music and games equipment was reported as:

Last year’s figures are included for com- parison purposes. With respect to phonograph collections for 1982, 45% of the responding operators reported them to be less than last year; 30% said they were with the same, with 25% reporting an increase. On the subject of games collections, 60% of operators queried reported them to be less than last year; 25% reported an increase over last year and 15% said collections were the same as in '81. New Equipment Purchases Selectivity in buying was dramatically evident in this year’s poll, the primary beneficiary being video games. 35% of the responding operators said they bought more videos this year; 40% reported purchasing the same amount as they did last year and 25% said they

bought less. This averaged out to about 1 1 new units per operating company. Purchases of new pinball machines averaged out to about 10 per operating company; with 80% buying less than they bought in '81; 15% buying the same amount as last year and 5% reporting no purchases of new pinball machines. Jukeboxes were also victims of the selective buying practice, 55% of the operators polled reported buying less than they did last year; 15% bought more; 5% said they purchased the same number as they did in '8 and 25% admitted to buying no new jukeboxes. This averaged out to about seven new jukebox purchases per operating company. Our survey also revealed that “hit syndrome" buying was most prevalent this year, to the tune of 80% reporting they limited their buying strictly to the hit machines. Only 20% reported otherwise. “How do you determine which new games to buy?” was another question we asked. 70% rely on advance test reports, 25% follow the suggestions of their distributors, and 5% apply personal judgment and self-test methods in the selection of new equipment. The state of the economy, the higher cost of TAITO AMERICA CORPORATION new equipment, IL increased overhead, and 1256 Esles Ave .

Here are some of the arrangements that were mentioned: 60/40 on jukeboxes with 50/50 on games; 60/40 on videos only and 50/50 on

• ber of jukeboxes on the route this figure could range from a total of 100 to 3000 or more on a weekly basis, which serves to emphasize the operator’s significance in the singles market. In programming their jukeboxes 70% of the operators polled said they personally select the singles for their machines; 20% rely on a staff programmer for this chore; 5% on the routeman and 5% on the suggestions of their one-stop. This is a departure from last year’s survey when the majority of operators reported that they depend upon their routemen for selecting their jukebox singles.

We asked operators to list, in order of importance, the sources they consider to be most useful in selecting new records. Here are the findings:

1. Trade Magazines 2. One-stops 3. Location Requests 4. Personal selection by route personnel

5. Local radio station charts The lineup varies a bit from last year in that location requests, (tied for the #1 position in ’81) dropped down by two positions and personal selection by route personnel dropped to #4 from #2 last year. W hen asked if they lease jukeboxes to loca- '' tions, 70% of the responding operators said they did not. Of the 30% who said they lease the machines, the financial arrangements noted ranged from $20 to $40 on a weekly basis; and from $35 to $175 on a monthly basis. This year’s survey revealed a very noticeable change in the pricing structure on jukeboxes. In 1981 only 45% said they used straight quarter play on jukeboxes (55% were still using 2/25C). Thisyear, 75% reported that their jukeboxes are priced at straight quarter

1 play; with only 15% employing 2/25$. The most frequently mentioned alternative this
