Jukebox parts: What are these? Pricing Chips

I have a small box full of little fiberglass rectangles

They have a number on the front, typically with an arrow pointing to the
left, and a metal backing that is conductive with different layouts
depending on what # is on the chip.

They are wafer thin

I bought out an operator last year who had been in business for 20+ years
and have found a lot of stuff good homes, but for the life of me can't find
anyone who wants these.

I hate to trash them, especially if someone can use them.

The box was labeled Juke Box Pricing Chips. I tried listing them on ebay
with this info and didn't get any hits.

I'd be glad to send them on to someone who can use them so I don't end up
trashing them.

Hi John!
What you have are the different "pricing programming keys" for some 70's
jukes (probably Seeburgs).
By changing the chip you changed the pricing structure from one record for a
quarter to two records for a quarter, etc. I know that you are a pinball
guy, so think of these like the jacks on a EM pin that you would move from
hole to hole to change the number of balls per game.
They are pretty much worthless. I threw away a whole coffee can full of them
that I had accumulated. I couldn't get $5.00 for the whole can full when I
took them to jukebox shows.

Thanks for the info Keith!

If nobody has asked for them in the next few days, I guess I'll trash em.

Shipping is on me if anyone needs em, I hate to toss them!

Those are pricing programming chips for Rowe 45 rpm jukes from the
early 1980's. I think they go to models R84, R85, and maybe R86.

Thats right Ken, I remember when those first came out and made price of play
very easy to set up. I have no use for those myself but hate to see them
get trashed as they will never be manufactured again. Most likely the ones
that were stored in a box by an operator were the ones that were seldom used
in the machines.

John, you may want to try re-posting this as " AMI Pricing Chips " R-84
thru R-86. I hate to see parts get trashed for older machines.

see if jukeboxparts.com wants them cant hurt to find out so
something rare or hard to find does not go to the dump
