A9675 complete with the tubes for $ 56.31 (retail $ 125.00). Allied brings the same page in both catalogs, 1930 and 1931: "Install them anywhere on percentage for constant income. Install them in restaurants, barber shops, ice cream parlors, clubs or cigar stores. Reap big profits. Use it in your own home without the coin mechanism. Illuminated drum tuning."
