Breath taking color and brilliance! Beauty of
design never before seen in an automatic
phonograph! New and improved selectors!
These are the distinguishing features of the
Wurlitzer "Five Hundred” and "Six Hundred”
Automatic Phonographs.
The last word in the use of modern translucent
colored plastics, combined with selected wal-
nu* veneers and the generous use of chrome
^ etal trim make these Wurlitzer Phonographs
y far the most spectacular ever built!
p
Ven ^e record compartments of both of these
unitzer models take on new splendor with
eir Silver Cascade Backgrounds covered with
^ transparent plastic sheet that gives them
eQutiful brilliant color. This plastic sheet
^ Qkes it a simple matter to change the color
^ the background and to keep it clean. In the
^QVe Hundred” the record compartment also
s mirror sides that multiply the movement —
9 v© greater depth — flashing action.

An innovation in "Multi-Selector" design, the new piano type keyboard
selector of the Wurlitzer "Five Hundred" has irresistible play appeal.
Touch one of the white ivory keys and a green light in the numeral above
the key signals the record selected. To cancel selections simply press
keys from underneath. Made of metal with a white porcelain enamel
finish, the keys are indestructible — their width assures accurate selection.

The piano keyboard "Multi-Selector" is
grouped with a well lighted program
holder and brilliantly illuminated coin
slides, protected by tamper-proof guards
— all on a convenient easy-to-reach,
easy-to-see— level.
