Abstract: This disclosure pertains to a remote stationary control box operating a coin operated automatic record selecting apparatus and public address system. The remote control box is provided with a tape player, microphone, and a record player, each of whose output signals are controlled by independent volume controls. Control switches allow the user to select which sound producing device, including the distant coin operated automatic record player, is to be operated. Mixing of signals allows the user to simulate the function of a radio broadcaster who presents musical selections and simultaneously or intermediately makes announcements and does accompanying. The control box programs record selections from the records stored within the distant automatic record player andfurther provides a pause switch which temporarily disables the beginning of play of an upcoming record therefrom.
