Counter Conversion
Phonograph Clicks
CHICAGO-The fact that a full 85% of
all sample orders shipped so far have
brought repeat orders is taken as an in-
dication that the recently-introduced Mira-
hen counter model cabinets, manufactured
by the Miraben Co. to receive a 16-record
Rock-Ola phonograph chassis, fills a long-
felt need, according to executives of the
firm.
"Despite their really fine mechanisms,
many of which are in perfect working
order and not to be surpassed by anything
on the market today, th ere are thousands
of 16-record phonographs useless and ly-
ing rotting in operators' basements through-
out the country because of obso lete cabi-
nets," executives explain,
"The Miraben counter model cabinet has
been designed to receive perfectly the 16-
record chassis, and as a result the operator
has a machine of dazzling beauty, marble-
glo'd in two ton es and lavishly decorated
with highest-quality plasti cs which li ght up
and are a sparkling attraction. The counter
model is perfect for any spot and fits any
location, as demonstrations have proved,
with splendid returns for operators. A
speaker cabinet which matches the counter
model handsomely is included as part of
the equipment.
"Lackinl!: any precedent for a unit of
this sort, the creation of a 16-record model
was a job requiring a good deal of experi-
menting and development work," officials
assert, "and shipments are being made as
promptly as possible through the flood of
orders already received at the plant," ♦
