Continuous automatic tape reproducers for rack mounting.
Nach deren Aussagen baute Alto Fonic Rundfunk taugliche Abspielgeräte, die im laufenden Musik-Programm automatische Werbeeinblendungen vornahmen. Das große Bandgerät wurde mit einem mechanischen Timer angehalten und bekam von der Jingle-Maschine die Werbung zugespielt und wurde dann wieder gestartet. Und sowieso, 2.000.- Dollar waren auch in den USA damals wirklich viel Geld. Es entsprach etwa 8000.- DM und ein VW-Käfer kostete (bei uns) 4.990.- DM.
