2017-Dec - Long-term update:   
      
      
   For over one and one half years, with the mods   
   made as described in my last post, it has largely   
   been 'steady as goes'.  Perhaps it is better that   
   the music is routed through the wall pots, so   
   there is no volume war going on between various   
   store managers. (!)   
      
      
   Still a low-level background hum, from the same   
   amp with the sledge-hammered Aux. knob, but   
   at least Bass & Treble are about where I left   
   them after a glance inside a couple months ago,   
   when the door was left cracked inadvertently.   
      
      
   I did inquire of an IT specialist who needed the   
   closet while he was configuring new POS card   
   swipe terminals if he could examine the actual   
   music player/receiver for make & model nos.   
   No dice - all he could discern after gently picking   
   it up was a sticker on top: "My In-Store Radio".   
   Per a visit to that providers website, as well as   
   general web searchds, I was able to glean   
   ZERO info as to the actual make and model of   
   that small black box.  I was trying to find a manual   
   for the thing, to read up on it's inner workings and   
   settings, just in case.   
      
      
   The only other significant, and sad item of note is   
   the gradual decrease in number of songs played   
   per cycle, now down to barely a dozen, and much   
   more recent songs of different genres.  As   
   opposed to 15-20 songs per cycle a few months   
   ago, and over 30(!) songs per cycle as mentioned   
   two-three years ago.  Guess that's why it's called   
   'background' music: it's not at all sbout the music   
   itself.  :(
