I was just wondering if this idea was technically possible and if there was anyone who would have an interest in making one of these,
What I envision is a modern accessory that would be universally compatible with any “fully automatic” turntable which adds drop spindle functionality...
Anyone know who manufactured Sears Silvertone record changers from the mid-sixties through the late sixties. I was told they were manufacture by Alliance (Genie Garage door openers, Alliance "Tenna-Rotor" anntena rotators, and small fractional hp motors). Alliance was bought out in 1994 by...
No, wobble and spring is not a British dish of leftovers. I found this changer on Craigslist for a bit of nothing, but the platter wobbles up and down as it spins. See video below:
Also, there is a small spring under the tonearm pivot with a loose, unattached end. I did download the service...
Hello!
I just picked up a Sony CDP-C15ESD CD 10-Disc magazine changer. The unit is very clean, in great condition for a 1988 model, and supposedly refurbished (rails lubricated, contacts polished, etc.).
However... I've noticed that when playing back using the "Shuffle All Discs" setting, that...

But is was sitting for quite long in someones basement so I wondering what I have to pay attention to?

One step forward, two steps back: I had to rewire a broken tonearm cartridge sled and thread the tiny cable through the arm, which I have done and soldered underneath. But there seems to be a catch when I pivot the arm from the armrest toward the center of the record. You almost have to force it...
I need some assistance troubleshooting a Denon CD changer DCM-444 (not SONY, my mistake). It's a changer which uses standard 6-disk cartridges. I am waiting for a service manual and schematic to arrive.
The problem is that when a cartridge is inserted and it tries to inventory the six CD trays...
I could write a long description of what's wrong, but a video is worth a thousand words.
The Youtube link is a video of me trying to get my Magnavox Imperial Micromatic to play after changing the record. Please take a look. I couldn't find a good answer in my searches. Hope someone here can...
Hi all,
A while back, I picked up a Pioneer CT-M55R cassette deck for cheap (pics attached). The unit is in excellent physical condition, and all of the internal components work...except that it keeps getting one of the trays stuck inside itself.
The device works by holding all the cassettes...
Hello all,
TL;DR:
VM 1201 - If I hold the overarm up even just 1/16" as a record drops, then the tonearm will automatically swing into position and play the dropped record. If I do nothing and leave the overarm to rest on the record when it drops, the tonearm picks up, sets back down, and...
I have a Technics SL-1650 that I've been using since I got it new in the late 1970s. Of of its features is the ability to install a stacking spindle for so you can stack up to 6 records. While I usually use it with the single play spindle, I also regularly use it with the album stacking spindle...
I just tried to replace the needle in a Zenith 2G ceramic cartridge, and managed to muck it up completely. Not panicking, as I have two other turntables -- both with magnetic cartridges -- but still want to get this changer back in service ASAP. Before I buy, and ruin, another needle, does...
