THESE THINGS YOU MUST KNOW AND DO
1. Smile when you speak in microphone.
2. Look at the number of impulses. Each impulse on counter means nickelhas been placed in coin box and the customer or customers have that manyrecords coming. Keep counter levers on zero.
3. Start motor when light comes on. Float records on; don't lay armson turntable.
4. Push coin counter back gently.
5. Push release button firmly after music has started and you have finishedtaking number.
6. Look at the record; if the edge is chipped, place the needle in grooveinside of chip. Don't hit the record in center pin of table.
7. Lower needle on to record gently. You are to watch this with an eagleeye. The dropping of tone arm even 1/4 of an inch may ruin a $1.00 needle,a $6.50 crystal, a 75 cent record, and if the needle is bent or broken,it will ruin every record it plays on. Not only this, but the music willsound terrible in location. We repeat again, concentrate your eyes on thehand that is lowering the needle and BE CAREFUL!
8. In picking up the tone arm, lift the arm straight up at least 1 inchand then swing it over to the rest. This stops needle scratching recordswhen lifting arms.
9. If you do not hear customer's voice, move Talk Listen Switch up anddown. If you don't hear customer's voice, turn up volume. If you still don'thear customer, move your phone plug up or down. Don't give up without gettingthe number, and if you can't get a response report that box out of orderand ask them to tie it up and turn in a service call to the office. Playa number.
10. To check your headphone, insert plug in pre amp. Put on record andthrow the Federal Switch up, move cord up and down and around. If it cutsin and out, hang them on panel in back of wash basin for repair.
11. To check pick up, place your plug in front of location pre amp andthrow Federal Switch up. Place your finger GENTLY on top of pick up headand sway your finger back and forth. If needle is loose, it will crackleand squeak. If crystal is broken, no tone will be heard or it may be verycracky. You must change motor at once.
12. In filing records, part the file cards and restore a record gentlyand avoid striking edges. Avoid striking center pin on motor. We must stopedge chipping now.
