Japs Boast of Electronic Find
The Japanese transistor industry is boasting of a major electronic breakthru by their scientists, which will open the way for even greater miniaturization of electronic products.
According to information received here, the Japanese, because of the electronic breakthru, are now in position to produce electronic equipment so tiny as a wristwatch radio. It is reported in German coin machine trade circles that the Japanese intend employing the transistor breakthru in the development of miniaturized coin machines.
It is understood that one new such Japanese product is a highly sophisticated wall jukebox designed to rival in performance standard console boxes.
The Japanese also have under development, it is reported, miniaturized coin games which will permit the siting of many more games in Arcades than heretofore has been possible because of the space factor. And the “super transistor” will enable the Japanese to manufacture highly miniaturized and extraordinarily versatile vending equipment. There are forecasts in German trade circles of sharp Japanese price cutting in the coin-operated equipment field because of the “super transistor’ discovery.
