Philips GF 440/4

[AG3304]

ls this one of those old sets which had those odd speakers with the magnet in the front?l seem to recall quite a lot of philips record players from then having those inside out speakers!They sounded good though!l think the autochanger spindle will stop the odd moves.

Ah, I see :).

I do have the changer spindle, I'll install it sometime :)

I don't think it really should operate that way. But it sounds fine, so why bother :)

Dear friend,

I live in Brazil and this kind of Philips equipament was largely used here around the 80's. The is nothing wrong with your auto stop. It works this way . It is perfectly correct.

Don´t Bother because it is runing perfectly.

Best regards from Brazil,

mario.

Well that's a good thing.

Altough I don't think it's supposed to put the stylus somewhere around the middle of the record ;-)

I live in Brazil too, where, as Mariopica said, these philips turntables were very popular. I have a record player similar, but not equal, yours that operates in the same mode. The reason of this strang operation is because the changer spindle is missing - Actually you have a record changer and not a simple turntable.

[mariopica]

You are right. The arm first seach for the long play "in the air". As there is no long play it goes to the middle of the record because the record changer "think" it is a small record.

Stinkraft if you place a small record, on music it side, you will the record will find exactly the correct position. The spindle is missing this is the problem.

Cool how it operates!
