Repeater-Stop
*'A positive Automatic Combination STOP and Repeater for the Phonograph Record" The STOP is Absolutely Positive
It can be regulated to repeat a record once—twice—three times or to repeat indefinitely. Nothing like it on the market—
when it comes to a stop the needle is automatically lifted OFF the record, thus eliminating all possible chances of scratching
or destroying expensive records. It places the needle automatically upon the exact starting point on the record. It does
this more gracefully and gently than the human hand.
