CHICAGO. - Just what happens to a
piece of equipment that is reconditioned at
Atlas Novelty Co.? We asked this question
of Eddie and Morrie Ginsburg, officials of
the firm, and got this enlightening and in·
teresting answer.
"The same attention is given 'a repair job
as is given an order for reconditioned equip.
ment.
"For example, a pin game is placed on
a bench, thoroughly cleaned inside and out,
and parts checked for weakness or wear.
Replacements are brand·new manufacturers'
originals. The game is then played over and
over by a mechanic until it works as
smooth ly as the day it came from the fac·
tory. Final step is complete inspection by
Frank Bach, shop superintendent.
"Phonographs get the same treatment.
Washed and cleaned, the chassis is removed
and inspected. Necessary replacements are
made. Tone is improved and the phono ad·
justed to get the greatest possible volume
with a minimum, of vibration or distortion.
The pick·up head is adjusted. All movable
parts are tied down to make the machine
safe for transportation.
"We have the latest and most modern
spraying and painting devices to assure
speed and efficiency. When necessary the
old paint job is scraped off and a new face
made up. Scratches and holes are filled in.
"Operators who have tried our service
have expressed entire satisfaction and usu·
ally end by ordering all additional equip.
ment needed at the time, knowing it will
give them maximum return on their invest·
ments."

GLENDALE, Calif.-H. R. Graham, the
veteran repair and reconditioning specialist
of the Coin Machine Industry, has won a
, new , "First" for himself. This time it's in
the repair and reconditioning of Vest Pocket
bells and the installation of his new "no
dry tube" device.
Says Graham, "Operators are having the
best of luck wi th the Perfect Vest Pocket
Anti·Cheating Device I have perfected as a
supplementary service in my repairing and
refinishing. Operators who use them say the
receipts have increased one·third or more.
Operators are buying brand new machines
and having me work them over before put·
ting them on loc'a tion."
THE REVIEW can attest to the authentic·
ity of this statement, for the Graham shop
is filled daily with equipment submitted
for the "Graham touch" and there seems to
be no let·up in the parade. Despite the rush,
Graham is still turning them out on sched·
ule and the same perfect work is evidenced
on each unit.
