Your welcome George! I do have a question though. Looking over the photos of the other BSs I was curious if the aluminum horn I have displayed on mine is correct? The horn and machine both came to me separately years apart.

Wes, the BS was supplied either with ear tubes or a 13" nickel-plated horn unique to Graphophone coin-ops. The horns are very difficult to find, so an aluminum horn is a good substitute until lightning strikes. (I have ear tubes on mine!) :)
