The Talking Machine World, New York, February, 1928 50(3 NE — brand new! ANEW revolutionary invention in the old style phonograph field is ready for you. It has many potential sales features. Until now no device has been produced that makes the old machine the equal of the latest models in the desired volume and tone quality. The performance of the ASTRAL SERPENTINE TONE ARM >12" is not only a superb achievement but a fundamental advance in full and exact phonograph music reproduction of surpassing beauty. The "Serpentine" Tone Arm supplies a long felt want of 10,000,000 phonograph owners in the United States. It has unique eye value in shape, quality of material and workmanship. It is beautifully plated in colonial bronze with a black ball-bearing base, precisely machined and warranted not to bind. It is indestructible in the ordinary course of usage. It produces the heretofore much sought sound volume and faithfully and richly brings forth every note, high and low, on the phonograph record and over the radio, loud and clear. It is unrivaled as a combination phonograph and radio attachment. This Tone Arm, an elongated air column, approximately 27 in. in length, scientifically proportioned in Serpentine form, is at once adapted to radio with phonograph attachment. In effect, no radio loud speaker is comparable with the acoustics of a good, well seasoned tone chamber in a phonograph coupled to a Serpentine Tone Arm. Without it neither phonograph nor radio receivers are up to date. The price, $12.50, meets the requirements of being within reach of every pocketbook. Through an error this price was announced elsewhere as $17.50. The correct price is $12.50. Serpentine Tone Arms can be shipped promptly in 8 in. and 9 in. lengths, in any quantity.
