[ConfusedSponge]

i want to see the record changing

[DjJohnnyM68]

this is an old changer ...my old emerson had an arm that came out to touch the record to measure what size it was, i guess. nowadays kinda would get a retro kick out of loading it up with some 45s, not collectables, just average well played ones in my collection , and just kick back and drift off into the past.

[FaerieCrone]

Our family had one of these players in 1971.

[stebearleeds]

This was my 1st Stereo record player my mum and dad got me for my Xmas/birthday as i was Boxing day baby :-) Pye use Garrard to as I have Pye Black box with Garrard 209 deck in it from 1959

[Lachlant1984]

I take it this unit has a BSR changer in it, right?

[lrd9999]

The Phillips-Collero-Magnavox changers were, I believe, totally unrelated to BSR. The latter had a manual record size selector by '73, while the Phillips still checked the size of stack before each record droped (as you can see at 0:04). Various models of these changers were made in various countries until 1993!

[AG3304]

This is an all-Philips affair.You didn't see BSR decks in Philips equipment,though bizarrely,some PYE music centres had BSRs,even though PYE and Philips were very closely tied up then!

[DwMaquero]

Boahh, eso si es sonido y lo demas son chorradas ¿donde esta para conectar los altavoces 5.1 opticos o coaxiales?

Saludos xDDD

For those interested, the song playing is "The Good Times," by Nat King Cole. It was the "B" side of "Ramblin Rose" on my pressings. It came from the same 1962 album, "Ramblin Rose."

[allenreavie]

thats interesting - i never seen a machine where the arm comes over and waits for the record to drop. Nice.

[9876543210Hammer]

I love the older Philips, as nearly all old Bang&Olufsen units are equipped with Philips components :-)

[lrd9999]

I'm holding a 1973 Lafayette Radio catalog with a changer like that (just the changer, base, cartridge and dust cover) for $29.95. It looked like a good deal then, but I could never figure out who made it from the picture; seeing yours run made it obvious that it was a Phillips-Collaro-Magnovox clone.

[puupydoger]

Strange, this has the Bealtles logo.

Why is this playing a Nat King Cole :?

[lrd9999]

I think that was just the Capitol records logo. My copy of "Yellow Submarine" has it, but there's nothing specific to the Beatles other than the song and artist titles.

[SeanElGatoTelevision]

Capitol adopted the yellow/red swirl label in 1962 for its 45s. It was the standard 45 label until 1969.

[athenathon77]

Em casa tinha um desses...pena que quebrou de tanto usar, eu acho rs... acabou nao tendo mais conserto.

Eu adorava esse toca discos!

Valeu por compartilhar

Hello,l have a very similar record deck,they were made by Philips for the UK

chemist chain "Boots" and branded "Boots Audio".Mine must be 35

years old,l had it as a kid,and haven't the

heart to chuck it-after all,it works perfectly!

The speakers clip on top when not in use,

and like yours it has a built in amp.The

cartridge,though,is a satin silver finish,some were shiny chrome.Never knew they made the Philips in Brazil though!Good vid,hope the old player keeps going!

[Lachlant1984]

You've had that player since you were a kid? Wow, clearly you took very good care of it, unlike me. I have a Sharp stereo system that my parents bought me when I was 8 years old, I still have it, but I think the heads have seen better days, I think they need replacing, they're in a pretty bad shape.

[DJTch7]

Your setup sounds absolutely amazing. What else are you using?

[gtimandan]

Sexy changer! Never seen this machine before. I love how the tonearm selects the record size itself. Brilliant thinking.

I have a 1964 Zenith with Micro-Touch 2 that has an independent arm for auto-sensing the record size allowing it to also intermix discs but I've never tried it that way.

GREAT POST! I love Philips' equipment.

[Spacekriek]

Your video brought back some fond memories ! My father had a similar turntable back in the seventies though ours came in cabinet. Record player in the top third, AM/FM radio in the middle and storing room at the bottom. It came with matching speaker units about the same height as the main cabinet. I am from South Africa, can anybody confirm if this set was sold elsewhere in the world ?

[simonboutman]

Thanks for Watching!

Well, I know that this kind of turntable was large avaliable in Brazil, and also in Holland. But I didn't know that this was sold in South Africa, or in other part of the World.

[ludovico9vonz]

@Spacekriek em 1978 comprei uma dessa e paguei em 10 prestações nas lojas cem em são roque, e o primeiro LP que tive foi da Novela Espelho Magico, e discoteque whiskadão.

[acdcboy]

how does that changer work?

[dollywoodlover12]

The song is called "The Good Times" by:Nat King Cole and Belford Hendricks Orchestra :)

[tough213]

hello thank you for such a quick response . this song in your video on the 1973 philips 547 sounds like stand by me with different words but it is a great song.

[tough213]

hello, I had found one of these philips changers

 along with an elac miracod , and an old zenith belt drive turntable this is a great changer I was wondering if you know if the cartridge could be changed to a magnetic onethank you and keep bringing these great videos

[simonboutman]

Hello!

Yes, I had seen once on internet a magnetic cartridge that fit in most of Philips' record players - but I've never found one of these, especially here in Brazil where I live.

Thanks for watching!

[bdbeatle]

What song is playing?

[yopascualin]

Nice changer. It works like Perpetuum Ebner, Collaro, Elac Miracord. The tonearm feels the record size. Thank you.

[Falcons66]

Hey. Damusician sent me this vid. very cool. I didnt know someone besides collaro made a changer like this. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[simonboutman]

Hey. I love your videos - I wish I had a Philco turntable like yours.

In fact, I tought Philips was the inventor of this changing mechanism, just recently I found that Collaro actually was the fisrt company to introduce this type of changer.

[Falcons66]

Thanks! My Philco was a lucky find, and my second vintage player....and I have yet to find another as funstional on day of purchase as it wa. Everything since normally needs some form of service. BTW...I meant 'vinylman86' (comment below) told me about this video, 'Damusician' is the same guy, but is his other account.

[vinylman86]

i want that player. worx like my magnavox micromatic players made by collaro.

[simonboutman]

Thanks for watching!

Yes, I used to have a Collaro player that was awesome, but, unfortunately, it has broken without chance to be fixed.

But I found that these Philips changers works in the same mode, and are good enough.

[vinylman86]

collaro was a popular changer in the magnavox sets. in the 60's it was called "magnavox micromatic"

[hackerhifi]

Nice record changer
