WINDOW
The greatest eye-appeal of all time!
Gorgeous moving, _ changing illumina-
tion through crystal-clear embossed
door plastics - an innovation in the
industry. No paints to fade. No loss
of brilliance even in bright daylight.
You actually see the color cylinder
through a series of rectangular lenses
with the most startling, pleasing, play-
promoting color effects on any phono-
graph.
And, to top it off, Wurlitzer's pano-
ramic SKY-TOP Record Changer Window. Larger than
ever, stronger than ever, built like a bomber nose, it's
a "sidewalk superintendent's" dream. Gives every ne a
ringside seat as the record changer mechanism works
its magic in a dramatic, theatrical setting right bd~~e
their very eyes.
Its Fascinating New E~ Program Selector
Keeps People Playing Again and Again
Another excItmg example of Wurlitzer leadership!
The new Encore Program Selector. A master stroke in
multiplying play-appeal by making record selection
faster, easier, more fun.
Divides 24 records into three programs of eight rec-
ords each. Player makes selection from eight number
showing on program holder. By pressing the Master Key,
the program holder revolves and another selection of
eight different numbers comes into view. New numbers
appear above the selector buttons corresponding to the
new set of eight tunes, and the color behind these num-
bers also changes to match the colored program numbers
opposite the program slips.
Action, motion, illumination combine in the Encore
Program Selector, encouraging people to play the phono-
graph again and again. More and more profits for you!
Its scintillating tone brilliance is enhanced by the
COBRA TONE ARM
W urlitzer sets another precedent.
Enhances its long held leadership
in tone by being the first commer·
cial phonograph manufacturer to
adopt the famous Zenith Cobra
Tone Arm.
Less than 2/3 ounce pressure at
the "floating filament" stylus
point. Extremely low record sur·
face noise. Picks up the finest
modulations to reproduce tones
never before heard on a record.
The "floating filament" is housed
in a retractable cartridge. Therefore, the pickup will
stand amazing abuse. Your service man can acciden·
tally drop the pickup on the record, or scrape it clear
across the surface. No damage to record or stylus.
Any pressure on the tone arm rocks the cartridge up·
wards ... raises the "floating filament" point off the
record . . . leaves only a smooth plastic shoulder in
contact that will not harm a record.
You can move the phonograph, jolt it, run it on
springy floors without injury to record or the "floating
filament" stylus.

Sensational savings

There's a further economy feature, too. Conventional
pickups give you from 190 to 420 plays per dollar
spent for needles and records. Zenith's Cobra Tone
Arm gives you 1620 plays for the same dollar.

Needles and record costs represent one of the major
factors in your operating expense. Now you can con·
servatively figure a 50 to 75% reduction in those
costs, a saving that can represent hundreds of dollars
in extra profits on every Wurlitzer Model llOO
Phonograph .
