Comment
The company was known as “Klark Equipment”, a company that produced garage forecourt equipment; vending style vacuum cleaners, space heaters and other similar products.
This was previous to the time when the company changed to Klark Teknik, the company founded in 1971 by brothers Phillip and Terence Clarke. So the owners appear to have followed a new path with the audio equipment.
The tokens therefore must date circa 1971. Ralph Hayes lists it in his Machine Token book at #223 in the Amusement/Vending section.
His Supplement 5 adds the information 'Used for Car Vacuum equipment at service stations.'
