Chicago Coin Band Box
By Bob Fitterman

If you visit The Bubble Room restaurant in Captiva, Florida, (just off
the coast from Fort Myers) you will find that they have (what appears
to me) to be the complete "Band Box."

If it's supposed to be inside a juke box, it's not: this is a wall-
mounted arrangement, semi-circular, with a curtain around the band.
The employees report that it used to operate properly, but that over
time, wear and tear has taken its toll.  Upon request, they will turn
it on, and some of the figures move as they play their instruments.
The curtain is permanently in the open position.  I saw it there in
December 1996.
