Abstract: The disclosure being made by the Video Cassette Selection Machine is that of an automated library retrieval system of video tape cassettes combined with the additional features of a complete playback system which include: a cassette player, T.V. unit(s), and speaker system(s). Additional features provided are the ability to exchange the contents of the cassette library with new cassettes in order to expand the scope of the cassette library. A machine memory allows the storage of a number of input selections to be recorded with the machine. The inclusion of a currency monitor requires a monitary compensation.The complete system is, therefore, one that upon receiving monitary compensation, the selection of one or more video tape cassettes is made from a library of video cassettes. The selected cassettes is then automatically obtained from the cassette library and placed into a cassette player which then communicates the information contained on the cassette to appropriate T.V.
