You remember them,,,,those big old ugly green things with the bar the operator pushed down and the coins clanked into the locked vault. Does anyone have one they would be would be willing to donate or sell to either FPT or BSM? Both groups are IRS 501(c)(3) and your donation would certainly be a tax deductible item. BSM has one of the boxes but it was desecrated and modified after it left PTC, is in horrible shape, and is almost unrepairable. BSM also has a more modern SEPTA era farebox they would be willing to trade for a Grant Money Meter. If you could help, please contact Harry Donahue at HAD2709@aol.com, or John Engleman at PCCSTREETCAR@webtv.net. Thanks for any help you can offer. John
