DURING NATIONAL WURLITZER WEEK * * THE NEW WURLITZER 2700 WAS SEEN * * HEARD * OPENED UP * CLOSED AND PRACTICALLY TAKEN APART AND PUT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN BY THOUSANDS OF MUSIC OPERATORS * * * THESE MEN, WHO KNOW COIN-OPERATED PHONOGRAPHS LIKE THEY KNOW THE BACK OF THEIR HANDS, CAME TO A SINGLE CONCLUSION * WURLITZER HAS THE WINNER
TWO WINNING WURLITZER FEATURES
Ten Top Tunes Golden Selection Bar
Every time a half-dollar coin is deposited, the golden bar glows brilliantly, displaying the message “Press For Top Tunes.” The golden selector bar gives new appeal to an already proven extra income feature.
Simplified Amplifier Servicing
Amplifier rests on free-floating mounts. Release a single spring-loaded screw latch and it can be pivoted out so entire pan is accessible for circuitry check or tube changing. If, for any reason, it is desirable to remove the amplifier, merely pull the plugs, lift up a quarter-inch, and it’s free.
