   Here in Vancouver, BC, Canada there are at least two 45 machines still   
   running in Cafes - with WALLBOXES!   
      
   At Helen's Grill at Main and King Edward there is a Seeburg LS1 with 8   
   or so Seeburg wallboxes (rectangular, volume button style).   
      
   At the Templeton on Granville near Helmekin there is a Wurlitzer 2150   
   with 200 select Wurlitzer wallboxes - six or so.   
      
   We are maintaining these machines for their respective owners (route   
   operators).
