Chicago Coin's Band Box
By Bill Jelen

Back in March 1997, there was a brief thread in the MMD about the
Chicago Coin Band Box jukebox attachment.

On Wednesday, April 29th, the Akron Beacon Journal ran a feature story
about the comic strip "Funky Winkerbean" and it's ties to the Akron
area.  The article discussed how the Band Box recently featured in the
comic strip's pizza shop is based on the Band Box still at Luigi's
Restaurant in Akron.  The print editions included a great picture of
the band box.

If anyone is interested in a copy of the article, e-mail me and I can
send one via postal mail.  The on-line version of the Beacon Journal has
the text of the article but not the picture of the Band Box.  This
article can be viewed on line at:

A second article talked about the comic strip's creator and also
mentions the band box:
