Another example of the earliest known Seeburg coin accumulator mechanism, from style A #7,114 with unknown brand of piano probably made in 1909. Each coin trips the long lever that extends to the left, pushing the notched vertical bar down one space. The shutoff perforation at the end of each song trips the pneumatic, pushing the bar back up one space, until the piano shuts off when the bar reaches the top position.
