Does anyone here know anything about Scopitone?
I know there were some here, but that it was more popular on the Continent & ~500 machines got to the US but is anyone aware of the whereabouts of any original Scopitone machines in the UK?
If you don't know what Scopitone was, it was a type of jukebox that played short clips of 16mm film. It was first seen in France in the late 50's but reached a peak at around '64 / '65.

Here's a Scopi-clip of Danny & The Memories - the band that later became Crazy Horse.
