Coin Machine Journal

The Coin Machine Journal was published from July 1931 to Vol. 57, N. 3 in July 1962 (or possibly Vol 57, N 2 June 1962).

*Note: Each volume is half a year, not a whole year, and numbering is further erratic.

Note: There are numerous issues from 1952-62 that are on hand but not yet entered into the database.
