Coin Operated Technology at the Signals Museum

Curiosity Squad host Alex Hall talks with Marc Bendickson, Founder of the Signals Museum at 1806 University Drive, Huntsville, about a new collection of coin operated technology on display for a limited period.  Did you know that the first coin operated technology dates from 2000 years ago? And how many hours do you think a coin operated radio played for? Listen out for the rotary pay phone!

“Put another coin in” runs for two weeks through the end of April. Viewing the collection is free with admission.
