...up until the late 80's the Minnesota State Fair Arcade had about 20 of these, with several in working order. When I was a child in the fifties I enjoyed putting my pennies in them to watch such tittilating fare as "The Tryst". More on these are found in Billy Bitzer's biography...
Yup, the AZ State Fair had 'em when I was kid, and I was fascinated by the sound as it ran. The pictures were in poor shape tho, I wish they had made more than 2 or 3 at time available.
