So I recently picked up a really attractive looking Turntable 8 track player/recorder stereo that I can't seem to find any information about. I played some of my records and to my surprise, The audio quality was incredible. The stylus is also a dual needle, it can also be turned over for playing 78 records with a thicker needle. The only thing I can't seem to get to work is the left audio indicator. Only the right one moves. However, When I power on using the power button, Both seem to move slightly when I power it on, This means it is getting power, But I could also be doing something wrong. I looked up the model number on this and found absolutely no information. Not even an image. The only thing I could find was website selling a service manual for it. The right audio meter only moves when I push down the 8 track record button. So They must be indicators for just recording. One of the recording level knobs are missing. But I moved the knob to each one to adjust the levels. If anyone has any more information, Please feel free to share.

Welcome!

If you're getting audio from the left channel, then the VU meter ("audio indicator") is dead. If the left channel is silent, then the VU meter is simply reflecting that reality. :)

As has been said above, these "All-In-Ones" were ubiquitous in the '60s and '70s. They were a staple of the lower end of the market. Most seemed to have those BSR changers like yours. Some were better than others, of course. KLH made some particularly nice ones with Garrard changers as did Sony with Dual changers and I once had a Fisher that was really nice. Most, however, were pretty ordinary.

I don't see any reason why you shouldn't use and enjoy it until something better comes along but I would definitely replace the needle ASAP. No telling what condition it's in and a worn out or damaged needle can destroy your records. Look for yours here.

If you get stuck, you can contact Gary Stork at the above. He'll be able to get you sorted.
