Title: Modern Marvels coin operated episode
Post by: scalebowler on November 10, 2010, 11:04:09 pm
Not sure if anyone has seen the coin operated episode of Modern Marvels but I got an email saying that they made a Coin Operated 2 episode and the first one was pretty interesting and thought you guys might want to know about it. The first episode showed the old pay phones and told how the operator knew what coins you put in, they showed how vending machines, parking meters, and other coin operated devices. Neat thing is they also go into the history of what ever they are talking about too which I like. It is going to air Friday November 12th at 9:00 pm eastern time on the History channel. Kind of funny that it is going to air exactly 1 year since I got my first machine.  :biggrin:
