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.
