Cha-Ching this photo (unknown source) is a “Killer Find”

 

 

Now to my old-eyes: That Magic Screen mechanism looks to contain a “ribbon” running on rollers.

A single panel that is simply (and elegantly) cycled across the front bingo card to change it’s appearance.

 

Can anyone say “sensor” _Obviously mechanical way back when, photo-diode/LEDs would definitely

be used today, but this shows just how “savvy” the Belgium designers where from the very start.

 

 

 

I just noticed that this Magic Screen mechanism above is different that this one`
