Coinola "Cupid" Nickelodeon
By Al Pebworth

Help!  I need someone with a "Coinola Cupid" willing to take some
detail case pictures and interior pictures, and perhaps even some
tracings.

This poor baby was owned by a NASA engineer who worked on the moon
project.  Tired of the peeling oak veneer, he sent it out to a cabinet
shop and had it fixed.  It is -- I'm not kidding! -- a "lunch-counter
special" now, covered with that brownish wood-grain Formica, and all
of the details removed.  I have the two art glass panels with the cat
tail for the upper left and right, but am missing the middle panel.

I'm sending along a picture so you will believe what has happen to
this poor instrument.  Any information greatly appreciated.
