Rebuilding Chicago Electric Nickelodeon
By Phil Corso

Hello everyone.  I am in the process of putting a Chicago Electric
nickelodeon back together.  It is a cabinet style that plays A-rolls
made by Smith Barnes and Strohber.  The machine looks a little like
a small Coinola nickelodeon.

Sometime in the past the top lid and front panel have been changed.
Can anyone help me out with pictures or information on what it should
look like?  Also, how the front panel is attached and how the lid is
kept in place (hinges, lock, etc.).  Any information on this machine
would be great.

Thank you very much.
