I always thought the flip plates sounded like someone shuffling cards. Glad to see there's one company that still manufactures them.

The restoration work was done by the original Italian manufacturer Solari. The board has 34,000 plates.

CBS Sunday Morning did a segment on the hotel and there's a segment on the Solari board beginning at 2:39

I always recall passing that terminal whenever I went to JFK and wondered why it was sitting there with the yellow cabs passing by. Good thing to see it’s getting a new lease on life.
