What makes our Pushbutton 'On'/Automatic 'Off' device better?

1. Unlike every other device that's ever been manufactured, our device has a built-in guide for the pushbutton. This provides a much more positive action for the switch and the lever. Things stay straight in line, all of the time. Having the built-in guide also makes installation an easier process.
2. Unlike every other device that's ever been manufactured, our device isn't glued together. In the unlikely event that the switch fails, the bottom of the switch snaps off and on with ease. (see picture below) Face it. Things do fail. Isn't better to anticipate that failure and do something to make the repair easier? That's what we've done.
3. The stroke of the switch was shortened. This insures that your long-playing rolls will still work.
4. The touch required to turn the switch 'off' is such that even if the roll is rewound slowly, the power will always turn 'off' when the tab comes off of the take-up spool. .

Designed primarily for players that have already been electrified, this device will shift the transmission from Play to Rewind at the end of the music roll. It is triggered into operation by perforations that are located a few inches past the last playing notes, which are common on almost all music rolls.
