“Amusement device” shall not include devices used exclusively for the purpose of selling tangible personal property, such as cold drinks, tobacco products, candies, postage stamps, or other merchandise; or services such as pay telephones, parking meters, money change machines, gas and electric meters, and other distribution of public service.

“Display or operate” means the display of any amusement device for use by the public or the operation by the public of such device, and shall include those amusement devices which are displayed or operated by or for the use of members of any private club, lodge, fraternal society or other like organization whose membership is limited to a portion of the public.

“Music device” means any and all devices which render, cause to sound or release music or provide visual entertainment where the same may be heard or seen by one or more public patrons. Any separate loudspeaker, phonograph, jukebox or television outlet from which such music or visual picture emits shall be construed to be a separate “music device” as herein defined; except where the music or visual picture emits from more than one speaker or outlet transmitting from the same mechanism, the several outlets or speakers in each place of business shall be collectively considered one such “music device.” [Ord. 462 § 1.]
