Two different  machines. Look at the  coin doors, the "do not  deposit coins if bottles are not visible""  decal are in different locations. One on the coin door the other above.
maybe one is an A and the other a C?

Thre are two different pictures on that page.
Kilroys is a great Place, it's in Minneapolis and I've been there many times to browse.
It's owned by a guy named Kevin Hammerbach, and all the Restoration is done by Nortland Jukebox and Soda Restoration out of Northbranch MN, Jim Still runs that place.. all are good guys...

There are two different versions displayed:
The second one, having the "Do Not Deposit Coins..." decal is definitely an "A" and I think the first photo which has the "Do Not Deposit Coins..." decal on the coin door is a "B".
I'm not sure about the "C" version as I have never seen one or an ID Tag designating this version...
