24 selections, 10 and
12" records
"Twenty-four lateral cut records, both ten and twelve inch are placed in
the instrument. A starting button is pressed and all of the records are
played without the slightest attention by the owner. The idea is to
enable the arrangement of an entire evening program which can be
proceeded with without further attention, the host giving his time to
his guests. Any one of the twenty-four records can be selected and
played as desired by the manipulation of an unique selective device. The
instrument can be operated by a switch from any room in the house. The
instrument places a record on the playing disc, plays it, returns it to
its place, at the same time placing another record on the playing disc,
all without the touch of a hand. The tonal effects of the Gabel-Ola are
excellent, and the case designs are decidedly artistic and symmetrical.
They are finished finally in three attractive styles."
