This TEL-A-TURN fixture by Rogers
Manufacturing was mentioned in the "Mac's Service Shop
- A Good Turn" story in the October 1959 issue of Electronics World magazine.
A quick search of other issues of Electronics World in the same timeframe turned
up this advertisement. It is easy to see why such a fixture would be a welcome
addition to the television and radio service shop. Those vacuum tube sets could be
really heavy and unwieldy, which put both the electronics and the service man at risk
of damage. I'd like to have one here at home for use in the shop area.
TEL-A-TURN Advertisement
 Rogers Manufacturing Company, 214 S. Main
St., Lindsey, Ohio is now marketing a new TV service cradle - the "TEL-A -TURN." Designed
by a practicing service technician to speed troubleshooting and repair jobs, the new
device will hold popular size chassis measuring from 9" to 25". Full rotation and locking
in any position are additional features of the device. The unit includes a switch with
indicator light on a cheater cord for safety and easy energizing and de-energizing of
work. An adjustable swivel lamp permits direct lighting of the section being serviced.
There is a built-in PM speaker with clipped leads to eliminate speaker removal from the
customer's set. The entire cradle moves on 2½" ball bearing, rubber casters for
noiseless mobility. The manufacturer will supply a colorful data sheet on this device
to those making a direct request.
