Rock·Ola Brings Out Small Box
"The new Rock-Ola Model 469
l00-selection phonograph is big in
every way except space require-
ments," according to Executive
Vice President Edward G. Doris.
" Rock-Ola engineers compressed
the visual impact, the record -playing
dependability and the stereophonic
sound of the Model 470 into a
cabinet only 34 Yz inches wide,"
Doris announced .
" Du e to the extravagant use of
color and the eye-catching disco art
design ," Doris continued , " the
small cabinet actually has the visual
impact and player stimulation of a
full size phonograph . The dazzling
effect created by the colored lights
and free -form art design is compati-
ble with the decor of recently
designed restaurants, grills, lounges
and discotheques."
Inside the chrome-trimmed frame
servicemen will find the same easy
to maintain mechanical and elec-
tronic features that are included in
the Model 470 . By opening the top
and front panels the serviceman has
p.asy access to the record storage
and playing mechanism, the amplifi-
cation system and the giant bass
speakers. A removable rear section
and a quick-connect panel on the
Model 469 make the addition of
wallboxes, speakers, microphones
and other accessories a quick,
simple job .
The 469 features a three-button
record selection system, and a
single entry three coin acceptor set
for quarters . Dollar bill acceptor
kits , money counters and receipt
printers are optional extras .
The standard complement of
Model 469 speakers includes two six
inch mid and high range speakers -
mounted at the outer edges of the
upper display area for maximum
stereophonic effect - and two 12
inch heavy magnet bass speakers.
A complete Quadphonic sound
system is available for the Model
469. Complete details on the new
phono are available from Rock-Ola
distributors.

New Import
From Playmatic
Rowe Intros Camelot
Production of the Rowe AMI
Model CTI -1 S console phonograph
now permits showings at Rowe
distributorships
throughout
the
country. In announcing its availabil-
ity, General Sales Manager Paul
Huebsch stressed, " Since the pre-
liminary introduction of the Camelot
of beauty . . . for those locations
that have always said no to a juke-
box .' We are pleased to present the
availability. Because of this, and
because of its fine furniture look, we
have come to think of it as 'a thing
of beauty ... for those locations that
have always said no to a jukebox.'
We are pleased to present the
Camelot Console as a fifith dimen-
sion to our four-model R-81 line."
The Camelot is completely new,
inside and out. Featuring a lively
" distressed pecan" cabinet finish
and woven-cane effect grillwork, it
blends with contemporary as well as
more traditional lounge decor. The
lid, when raised, reveals a tranquil
pictorial of trees beyond a field of
wild flowers in bloom .
The Camelot Console, as with the
R-81 line, features a 100 per cent
solid-state control system including
credit computer, selection system
with the digital readout, and mech-
anism control, all complimenting the
solid-state stereo amplifier.
The credit computer accepts five
different input signals from .t)1e coin
switches or bill acceptor. It accumu-
lates credit up to 255 standard plays
and offers almost unlimited pricing
programs by easy-setting program-
mable switches.

The new phonograph offers a full
200 selctions, but when desired, it
can be field converted to 160, 120,
or 100 selections.
Another important exclusive is its
5-year warranty on all moving parts
which ties in with its 5-year " no
lube" feature . The standard Rowe
mechanism uses Teflon base dry
lubricants, cou pled with silicon
transistors and enclosed solid -state
modules .
" No other phonograph produces
a higher level of sound than our AMI
phonographs, including the new
CTI -1 S console", Huebsch added .
Heavy duty ten-inch bass speakers
with new foam edge cones give a
basic speaker resonance of 27
cycles. A new dividing network has
a 600- cycle crossover frequency
which results in a richer and better
defined upper bass and midrange.
Tones with frequencies above
600-cycles are reproduced by entire-
ly new custom designed six-inch
speakers. These midrange speakers
are fed through a capacitor-inductor
network which provides maximum
damping of speaker resonance. The
result is a more full -bodied sound
with a better defined bass plus a
more open high end .
Rowe offers as an option a new
WRD solid state wallbox for use
with the Camelot. This compact,
stereo wallbox has full 200-selection
capability and digital annunciator
display. All standard Rowe access-
ories are also available for the new
phonograph.
