It was either Al Svoboda or Angelo Valente (who also had a Nickelodeon
Tavern with lots of stuff in Chicago) who had the bright idea of ordering
from Seeburg a new jukebox.  This was done, and it was set up to play.

A couple of tough characters walked in, in broad daylight, and
threatened to smash the jukebox, as it was not "authorized" by
whatever group was "in charge" of jukeboxes in that particular area.
After some discussion the honchos higher up decided to let the jukebox
stay, because the tavern was a special place.

Relative to Chicago, does anyone have any information on the large
collection of coin-operated pianos formed by cosmetics magnate Alden
Scott Boyer?  At one time he had a museum that also included coins and
Western Americana, but I don't think it was open to the general public.
