i have a similar model, but i was wondering if you know how to change the needle and what kind it uses, thanks

[jnichols3]

I have a very similar player. It is white/gray with the same case, but only three knobs on the front and two knobs on the player deck. The badge on the deck says Magnavox Automatic 400. The 45 stack adapter is missing, but was rectangular and clipped into a holder on the inside sidewall. The turntable is slightly smaller, but it plays 78, 45, 33, and 16's. Can anyone tell me what years these were manufactured? It looks 60's maybe very early 70's.

I was going to email that question to Magnavox, but believe it or not they do not have an Email address!

what's the name of that first song?

[FuckingStanz]

Why does the needle knock the edge of the record before switching?

[cliftdean]

@FuckingStanz It's measuring the diameter of the record before it drops to see where it should place the needle.

[FuckingStanz]

@cliftdean Ah, interesting.  Thanks.

[vado575]

wats that song on 4:15?? thanks and i have the exact same record chasnger on my console,,puts out good bass

[cliftdean]

[michaeljhurstrukus]

I have one of these that I'm looking to restore. Are you of anyone who does so? @cliftdean

[Zickcermacity]

Is that Amy Winehouse??

[SeeburgMusic]

Damn dude slow down. You need to cut back on the speed.

[dvlaries]

These are beautiful, rich machines but I could never live with one. The downside of that tap the edge of the record-size selection mechanism is that these units could not be set to REPEAT play ANY given record regardless of size or speed or whatever position you left the balance arm. Thus, you'd have to get up and start it over every single time. That would get old fast. I'll take a latter day Voice of Music changer.

Nice portable!

I now have a new respect for the phonographs, and I think they`re just great. It`s now in regular use and I`ll always use it.

I have an old magnavox stereo similar to yours that I`ve had since it was new and a gift from my parents back in the sixties, after a long useful life, it had been stored in our attic for many years, and when I took it out to test it recently, the changer really did`nt work any more, so I was ready to chuck it out, but as an experiment I took the time to clean and lube the changer, and I actually breathed new life into it, and it works like new again. you can`t kill these magnavox phonographs

[MIGHTYcbu]

what's the name of the song played at 3:08 ?

[LtColumboLAPD]

Was this sold on Ebay already? Also, do you know the model number? Thank you for sharing.

[cliftdean]

yes, this has been sold. it went pretty quickly on ebay.

[cliftdean]

I had a GE Wildcat I sold a few years ago. Hands down, Magnavox was better on every front....quality of construction, audio fidelity, stylus pressure. To be fair, I don't think they were in the same class...the Wildcat was strictly a portable and this is sort of a hybrid.

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

I agree!

A Magnavox Micromatic was the Technics of the 60's in every form.

[BrooklynMouseReturns]

I would compare my GE Wildcat over the Magnavox, because GE is a better winner than the Maggie's hands down.

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

I agree with cliftdean, "The Maggie is better on every front. " Coolbluelights 1962 GE tube portable is also a good record player and yep better than a Wildcat too.

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

Those magnavox's are awesome!

I have a similiar one with the same changer, but bigger speakers.
