Electronic Message Center for highway advertising purposes. Equipped with the original computer which calls the sign (permanent land based phone is part of the sign but must be connected to full time operational service). The computer can be located at the raceway facility office. Needs normal 110 volt service and must be plugged into an outgoing phone line in order to call the slave computer at sign. Several "options of different type phonics" of the commercial message are available for maximum impact on highway commuter traffic. If the same message is desired for one day or consecutive days, and track personnel or management are not available to regulate or monitor the messages a timer unit will have to be installed at the sign. The computer will not change messages or start up or shut off automatically. The computer to operate sign as shown on at current location and the main exterior power circuit breaker box to operate are included. New message centers are $60,000. to $75,000. range. We are asking $7,500. or offer.
