These are still decent, in my opinion, but slightly less reliable than the earlier "Micromatic" variety. The Micromatics used a dual idler design, one for the platter and one for the automatic functions, so that the auto cycle remained the same speed whether the table was running at 78 rpm or 16 rpm. The "Automatics" had only one idler so, like most other changers, the cycle speed would change depending on the speed of the records you are listening to.
 
Another big issue today is the slim head models lack easy cartridge options, and the EV cartridges Magnavox used, are getting more difficult to find. The 1958-1966 Micromatics were the best changers Magnavox ever built.
 
I have the same one. I'm having a hard time finding one as a replacement or for parts.
It is a W626 Automatic 400.
