Seems that they "might" be in buisness just saw one of there old "fishbowl" fareboxes in Burlington VT on a minibus. Driver said they bought it new. Nowadays modern transit fareboxes are sci-fi wonders costing 15,000.00 or more. Even old fareboxes can be complicated gizmos.

I'd ask this over in the RyPN interchange, where there may be people who know how to work on them as well as identify them...
