Wurlitzer had a coin accumulator that used little balls in a tube to
count the nickels.  Then there was one that had flat piece of steel
with teeth in it that moved up and down to count the nickels.

Early Seeburgs have two opposing pneumatics that move along a track in
a circular motion.   There were a ton of them [nickelodeons] with the
little star gear that rotated to count the nickels such as Cremona,
Seeburg, Mills, Western Electric, etc.

My vote is the little star gear model.  Some early Seeburg jukeboxes
had the flat piece of steel that moved up and down.  Where do you find
them today I do not know.  My point is there are many ways to count the
money.

By the way not all "nickelodeons" were nickel operated.  Some used
dimes and some used quarters.

I had the early Seeburg coin entry plates replicated years ago and
I sell them for $10.00 in USA.  They are acid etched brass.  I also
made just about every brass plate I could find for Seeburg, Western
Electric, and Coinola pianos at one time and still have the equipment
to do it again some day if there is a demand.  I have the dies for the
"Loud" "Soft" and "Off" plate behind the round knobs on Seeburgs.

I have the top castings for the post for early and late style Seeburg
KT and K models.  I also have the castings for the KT Special
available.  I also have one set of carved walnut finials (new) for the
post on the front of a Coinola C style case or C-2 case.

The Seeburg castings are $15.00 each plus $5.00 for UPS shipping.
The Coinola carvings are $300.00 for the pair.
