Very cool. I remember seeing those. I wonder how many out there know what a jukebox is.

They still have them at the Waffle House, but those are fully digital. Not even CDs, let alone 45s.

They used to colour coins red like that at arcade (pinball not video) to keep a control on the the people giving change. They were to used on pinball games when satisfying a customer when their game was tilted by someone else or something else beyond the customer's control
