26 Cash Box — December 13, 196 There are some people who may be shocked by this record. I ask them to listen to it

and think again. It is a desperate cry. Who are you Jesus Christ? is the urgent enquiry, and a very proper one at that. The record probes some answers and makes

some comparisons. The onus is on the listener to come up with his replies. If he is a

Christian let him answer for Christ. The singer says, ‘Don’t get me wrong. I only

want to know’. He is entitled to some response.

The theme is the Rowe basic machine. As dependable as ever. With complete front door servicing. Dry lubricants that last 5 years. Sintered gold electrical con- tact points that don’t corrode, pit, or tar- nish. And a 5-year warranty. Our basic theme also includes these new features: an improved bass sound cham- ber. New Hybrid Solid State Tube ampli- fiers that use the best of two amplifying systems. (They can be visually “trouble- shot” on location.) And an animated dis- play that will attract attention and stimu- late play. The variations are the grills and front panels pictured here. They can make the Rowe Trimount look like 15 different ma- chines. And can be changed on location within 15 minutes.

Scotchguard, Herculite tempered glass, vinyl clad steel, seven ply lum- ber and injection-molded polystyrene are several of the modern materials used in the design of the “Trimount.” Sound-wise the phonograph features two heavy duty 6-inch speakers for the high frequencies, a heavy duty 12-inch speaker for low frequencies, combined with a duct tuned reflex bass chamber. There is also a tuned enclosure for the speaker system. The solid-state stereo pre-amplifier is all silicon, with 20 small signal tran- sistors and 17 diodes. It is coupled with a new 50 watt power amp with four power tubes in the output section. The advantage of this is that it will allow the serviceman to correct malfunctions merely by changing tubes. Should high- er volume levels be desired, Rowe will provide the 100 watt power amplifier.

| At Cincy Meet At Southern Amuse. MEMPHIS — A festive two-day open A NEW DIMENSION IN MUSIC! house showing of the new Rowe AMI Trimount, well attended by tradesters from Tennessee, Arkansas and Missis- The Trimount by Rowe. sippi, was held at the newly renovated showrooms of the Southern Amusement Co, here in Memphis Nov. 18 & 19. “This was the best showing of music operators and their guests we have ever enjoyed at a new machine intro- duction,” commented sales manager C. B. McDowell, who along with sales ace Ray MacKinsey returned from the Cincinnati debut eager to have a quick showing. And a quickie they had, put- ting together the program just seven days after their return. The prominent mid-South coin ma- chine dealer combined the showing of the Trimount with a formal unveiling of its recently redecorated machine show- room. Operators reportedly marveled over the finer points of the Trimount, enjoying, among other things, its abili- ty to offer 100, 120, 160 or 200 selections. Their wives were equally outspoken on the showroom beautification.
