Auton to Display Newly Expanded Line of Plasma TV Lifts at AWFS Fair for First Time.

Entertainment Editors/Business Editors

VALENCIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2003

Don't miss the opportunity to see Auton Motorized Systems' newly expanded line of Plasma TV Lifts, as well as the chance to meet with their top management at this year's Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers Fair (AWFS) in booth #801. On-site sales appointments will be available at the show.

As the popularity of the Plasma TV grows, so do the sizes of the TV -- and Auton's popular Plasma Lift as well. "We have to keep up with the times," explains Virgil Walker, president of Auton Motorized Systems. "If the TVs are getting bigger, then our Lifts have to follow suit. We now offer our Plasma Lift in six standard sizes that will accommodate 24" to 80" Plasma TVs. We also manufacture custom models."

The new sizes represent one of many updates to Auton's Plasma Lift, the first of which was adding a swivel option because of the numerous requests. Auton's line of Plasma Lifts, the first of their kind in the motorized lift market, offer three styles to choose from: the ceiling pop-down, the up-and-down lift, and the Flip-Down model, released earlier this year. Both the ceiling pop-down and up-and-down lifts are available with the swivel option, and of course, all three are available with Auton's AWARD-WINNING automatic shut-off switch.

When Auton's Plasma Lift was introduced in 2000, it represented yet another Auton first. Specially designed for use with plasma screen televisions, the Plasma Lift is ideal for use practically anywhere. Featuring a rack and pinion design made of welded steel construction, there are no breakable plastic, aluminum parts or pop rivets that can loosen or come out over time. With the Plasma Lift you can conceal and reveal your thin screen television in a cabinet with the touch of a button.

No special wiring is required for any of Auton's lifts -- they operate from a 120VAC/60HZ outlet -- and are shipped completely assembled for easy installation. Features include: a manual override switch in case of a lost or damaged remote, adjustable limit switches to control the stopping point of the lift, an electronic box that can be mounted in or away from the unit, and gear guards to prevent objects or wiring from getting caught between the gears and tracks.

Auton Motorized Systems is the world's first manufacturer of television lifts and to this day, remains the largest manufacturer of its kind. Since its inception in 1955, Auton has been providing motorized lift systems for architects, designers, and fine furniture makers, opening up a whole new array of design options! Auton lift systems are installed throughout the world in fine homes, offices, hotels, yachts and aircraft, just to name a few examples.

Unlike the old fashioned "scissor-type" lifts, Auton's specially designed lifts eliminate wobble and can easily lift uneven loads. To assure the quality of our systems, all of Auton's lifts are made in the U.S.A. and are backed by a four-year warranty.
