Advanced T eleSystems, Ltd. has
begun field-testing its Marcom STand
Marcom XL private coin-op tele-
phones in New Jersey.
The announcement was made by
William J . Tighe, ATS 's senior vice
president of sales and distribution .
"We've placed our Marcom ST
and Marcom XL phones at 25 test
locations offering a wide variety of
usage conditions," noted Tighe. "The
two models have already passed six
months of rigorous laboratory evalua-
tion. This test will be the final step
prior to full production. At the same
time, we 'll be conducting surveys
among users, to ensure that the public
is satisfied with the features , operation
and esthetics of the phones."
With the results of the field tests
becoming available by mid-October,
ATS expects to be in full production of
the two phones by early November
and to begin shipping against current
orders by November 15 .
At first inspection, the company's
Marcom ST and Marcom XL are
similar to standard pay phones.
However, they offer more features
and need only minimal servicing and
maintenance, the company claims .
The ST is designed solely for coin-
operation, while the XL , a universal
phone, will accept both coins and
credit ca rds , including VISA and
MasterCard.
A TS maintains general and pro-
gramming offices in Brookings, South
Dakota, with production functions
handled in Springfield, New Jersey.
The company also has technical
laboratories in California, Colorado
and Arizona.

mamoru Quiz
Adrian Enterprises of Randolph ,
New Jersey, has introduced Memory
Quiz, a compact, 25-cent vend unit
designed to appeal to adults as well as
younger players.
Four colored pushbuttons test a
player's memory retention level. The
lights, each accompanied by a special
tone , flash on in random sequence .
Each time a player successfully
repeats the sequence by pushing the
buttons in the same order in which
they lit up, one more light is added on.
A wrong move or a three -second
delay results in a raspberry sound and
the end of play.
Players try for high scores and skill
level.
A compact cabinet design, (15
inches by 8 inc hes by 11 inches),
allows this unit to be placed in many
locations where larger machines won't
go. It can be mounted on a pedestal,
requiring only one square foot of floor
space, or placed on a counter top.
Memory Quiz features a sturdy
coin box which holds over $350 in
quarters. The cabinet is made entirely
of welded steel and the playing surface
is stainless steel for long life .
The company is offering operators
a first trial unit with a 30-day money
back quarantee.

Generation II.
Generation II is a line-powered ,
true pre-pay, fully programmable unit
with answer supervision, and voice
simulated instructions. It accepts
nickels , dimes , quarters , and is
capable of timed local and long dis-
tance calling.
The inside components are com-
pletely modular giving the telephone
the capac ity to be upgraded.

Multiple switches
CEI's new XL 150 series of multiple
output switching power su pplies pack
over 2W/ cubic-inch in an 8.0-inch by
4.6-inch by 1.9-inch package . Dual ,
triple , and quad output models are
available. A MOSFET forward con -
verter design and 100 kHz operation
enables these switchers to operate up
to 85 percent efficient.
Load regulation is still +/- five
percent on the primary output and +/-
one percent on the remaining outputs .
Line regulation is +/- .5 percent over
both the 90-135 VAC and 180-270
VAC operating ranges . Cross regula-
tions is limited to +/- .5 percent maxi-
mum on all outputs.
The primary and secondary ou t-
put voltages are adjustable , and have
independently adjustable pots for
current foldback short circuit settings.
The primary output is generally +5V at
up to 20A with a 4A minimum load
typically required . The second output
can be either +5V, + 12V, + 15V, or
+24V , capable of surges up to 50 per-
ce nt above rated loads for disk drive
startup. The third and fourth output
are floating , at up to 2A.
Noise and ripple are limited to 25
mV RMS , measured at the outputs.
Hold-up time measured at 100 VAC
full load , is typically 25 ms. Transient
response during a 50 percent to 100
percent load change is 500 ~s with a 30
mV deviation. O .V.P. and remote
sense are standard on the +5V pri-
mary output. Available options
include an A. C. OK signal and remote
shutdown.

Mailing list
available
Rocklin Associates has available
mailing labels for the coin-op amuse-
ment/ vending industries.
There are eight major lists avail-
able, covering most areas of the indus-
tries . Said Rocklin's Wayne Coombs,
" We doubt there are any other lists
available that make so many options
available. And we are sure that no
other company uses the rental money
to directly improve the list. We travel
around the country visiting and tele-
phoning the companies on our list so
we can make sure each company is
listed in all categories they operate in."
The following lists are available:
Game Operators, Arcades, Billiard
Operators, Jukebox Operators, a.nd
Vending Operators.
These lists are available individu-
ally or in almost any combination.
Rocklin also provides customized lists.
Said Coombs, "We have been told
that our lists are the best in the indus-
try because we are selective . We make
deletions where appropriate, just as
important as aduitions. The rental fee
you pay Is used to finance this research
which is an ongoing project. We are
NOT a mailing list house with hun-
dreds of lists, we offer a money-back
guarantee , and our lists are compiled
independently of any other mailing
lists."
