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.
