Sorry for the long URL.  What I am looking for is the cover for
the coin box of a 1927 Wurlitzer add-on nickelodeon or coin op
mechanism.  The coin drop box is behind the lid on the photo.
Tombstone shaped, with the drop slot on top.  I have not measured it,
but should be about 10 to 12" high.  I need the cover for that box.

The lid in front is the cover for the internal mechanism.

A little background on where it comes from.  In 1927 Victor came
out with the first automatic record changer, the VE 10-50 model.
They figured out, right from the beginning, that if you add a coin op
mechanism to it, you'll get a nice sequential jukebox.  The
advertisement was "Make 85$ per week."

So my Victor 10-50, sold by a Wurlitzer dealer in Louisville, IL,
was equipped with a Wurlitzer coin mechanism and a coin counter.
Basically, you load the machine up with 12 records, push the start
button, and then the coin mechanism plays 1 record for each nickel
(prepay possible).

If you can think of anyone, who may have an original or a repro,
your help would be appreciated.
