Another thing to consider, operators of all sorts of amusements had a habit of smashing up their novelty machines (jukes, mechanical gun, pinball) once they lost earning potential and/or were too bothersome to repair and a big reason is they didn't want anyone else getting cheap games and starting a competition. this slowly changed some when video conversion kits started hitting the market, making dead cabinets come back to life with heavy cashboxes.
