I have a few two LP sets that are setup for a record changer. The Soundtrack to "Apocalypse Now" and Frank Zappa's "Sheik Yerbouti" come to mind.
I think the arrangement of LP sides as described may have been a peculiarly American approach.
Well, we are a lazy lot after all, aren't we? 😳
Martin,I've being trying to remember any record changing mechanism that offered all those facilities and I'm struggling to. Looking forward to reading more about this restoration in the future.CleveThis changer will take up to 8 records and they can even be of different sizes. Furthermore you can program a pause with the choice of three different lengths between each record - or between every second record. The four main pushbuttons on the left are for Start, Repeat, Stop and Change. In other words, a lot of electronics - eh ? Wrong ! - It's all mechanical.... Martin
Thanks for all the comments, greatly appreciated !
The G64A is from the late 1940's so really a bit too new and modern for the radiogram but it will
have to do and it wouldn't be all wrong to imagine a situation where the original deck was replaced
when this smart invention came around. The changer was available as chassis only, you could order one
to build into your homemade cabinet (or to replace a Philips..).
The arrow knob on the left is for a tonefilter, a simple RC filter to cut out more or less needlenoise and/or
motor rumble. The switch on the right is for lighting.
Note those needle cups. They are bakelite and just sits in holes in the chassis surface. They would also
be correct for the old radiogram.
- And they have B&O logos UNDERNEATH of all places !

Things like this take time. 😂
Today I found a needle dispenser that seems to be correct.

Slowly getting there, I love to see real vintage come to life again.

Good to see that you found the time to continue the restoration of this fine radiogram.
Can't wait to see the end result.

Fantastic thread Martin. Good luck with the project!
Hi Martin,
My struggles with the BM900 pale into insignificance against this project. Looks like you're almost in ther home straight....!! Good Luck.

A long time ago now Martin, but did you make any more progress with this one?
