Klopp counts
4 sizes
Klopp coin counters now count not
only four coins but also the four most
popular size tokens used in the indus-
try. These are the .984, .900, .882. and
.800.
Token tubes for bagging or wrap-
ping are available. This new quadruple
token versatility was added to Klopp
counters at no increase in the retail
price. Klopps can also count other
sizes of tokens with special factory
adjustments.
Totally portable, Klopp's manual
model (pictured open) weighs only 14
pounds and the electric model (pic-
tured closed) only 22 pounds. Both
models can also be used as stationary
counter-top units.

PLAY METEP, November 15. 1982
Oscar Peterson, lauded as one of the
world's greatest jazz pianists, was
heard "live in-concert" on thousands
of pianos equipped with Superscope
Inc.'s Pianocorder rep rod uci ng
system, the patented device which con-
verts an ordinary piano into an elec-
tronic player using special cassette
tapes.
"Body and Soul," the jazz classic
that has become Peterson's trademark,
is the title song on his Pianocorder
tape. Other selections include "Back
Home In Indiana," "Tenderly,"
1
"Misty," and "Mack The Knife." Duke
Ellington tunes, "Take The A Train,"
and "Lush Life," are also featured.
"Body and Soul" is the fifth release
for Pianocorder's "Contemporary
Artists" series, following perfor-
mances by Roger Williams, Peter
Nero, George Shearing, and Steve
Allen. There are more than 300 addi-
tional tape cassettes available for the
Pianocorder in a wide range of
ragtime, pop, jazz, and classical styles.

corder system or its tape library,

Strength
on cue
Royal F argues Associates has devel-
oped a new pool cue of a patented
epoxy and fiberglass construction to
make it virtually indestructable and
totally resistant to warpage, company
officials claim.
Royal Forgues a·ffers a three-year
warranty against breaking, bending,
warping, or splitting. The sticks have
been location tested for more than
three years.
The sticks come with a standard
screw on tip but slip-ori tips do fit and
are available. The sticks are 57 inches
long and are in the medium weight
category, making them suited to both
tall and short players alike . Rubber
butts snap in without a screw so there
is no loss to the butt due to the screw
breaking.

Sure, safe
movement
The need for accident prevention and
risk management in public areas has
generated a line of floor, step, and
handrail lighting products called
Tivoli Guidelights.
Easily installed, the systems require
very little energy or maintenance
expense, company officials claim.
Designed for carpeted or uncarpeted
floors and stair steps or to replace or
be attached to existing handrails, these
Tivoli products can prove very useful
in justifying reduced insurance costs.
There are more than a dozen differ-
ent applications for Guidelight
products. This low voltage lighting
system is a practical area delineator
that lies flush with the carpet surface.
It can be installed to conform to
almost any floor design.
Most important is its ability to
direct traffic flow , especially in emer-
gencies. Since the source of light from
Tivoli Guidelights is at the floor level,
it functions exceptionally well in a
smoke-filled environment. A runway
effect is created. It eliminates time lost
in adjusting to darkened conditions
for quick and sure movement to exits.
Three extrusion designs accommo-
date carpet-to-bare-floor installation,
carpet-to-wall, and mid-carpet place-
ment. Tivoli Guidelights are most fre-
quently seen in carpet-to-bare-floor
placement. In-carpet applications are
appropriate for theater and hotel
lobbies, and stores. Carpet-to-wall
Guide lights can be highly functional in
hallways and on stair risers.
Power is from UL listed Class II
transformers. Energy consumption is
about Y4 io Y2 watt per linear foot.
Light bulb life is measured in years.
Maintenance cost, if any, is negligible.
