Auto Shut-Off Auto Rewind Regular Pump Kit Deluxe Pump Kit

.
Automatic 'Off' / Pushbutton 'On' Device
(Allow 3-5 days for delivery)

Auto Shut-Off Device

This is the Automatic Shut-Off and Pushbutton 'On' Device that's part of the Full Automation Kit. It comes with about 8 ft of line cord, required hardware, and instructions for mounting the unit in the spoolbox. This device can be easily wired into an existing electric vacuum pump system, and takes the place of the regular on-off switch. In fact, you can leave any existing on/off switch in place. Just leave it 'on'. Cost is $149.00 ea. To place an order, Click Here.

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. .

Automatic Rewind Device

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.

Since "Player-Care" is an internet business, I prefer that we correspond via E-Mail (click here to fill out the 'Request Form'). However, if I'm not in the middle of some other activity, you can reach me at 732-840-8787. But please understand that during the hours from 8AM-5PM EST (Mon-Sat), I'm generally quite busy. So, I probably won't answer the phone. If you get the answering machine, please leave a detailed message stating the reason for your call. Also, repeat your name and phone number clearly and distinctly. By necessity, I prioritize everything in my life. And, if you call and just leave your name and number, and ask me to call you back, it might be a day or two before I return your call. Why? Because I don't know why you want me to call and I might not be prepared to assist you in an effective and efficient manner. If you leave me an E-Mail address (which I prefer), spell it out phonetically. The more you do to help me, the more I can help you in return. Don't rush. You have four minutes to record your message.
