Automata Connected to Juke Box
By Jerry Slonsky

Hi . . .

I'm not exactly sure of what it's called, but I remember as a child
(50's) a "band box" in our favorite restaurant in Akron, Ohio.  When
someone played the juke box the curtain would open to reveal five or
six small figures moving and playing different instruments.  They would
appear to be playing to the music.  When the record ended the light
would go off and the curtain would close, and the little people would
wait for someone to put another nickel in the nickelodeon.

I'd love to buy one if available and not outrageous in price.

Thanks on any information that maybe available.
