[teendude16]

hi, thanks for the reply, i like to use more modern equipment cause i want to save the disks from wearout, they will wearout someday though right?. thanks. Enjoy it.

@teendude16

Hi, you´re right. These changers are destructive with the records but eventually it´s funny to see them in action.

Thank you.

[seatboi]

Simply Gorgeous & STUNNING changer you have there! I LOVE the song, too! Thanks for this! Can you post another vid with several records changing so we can see more how it works? Thanks! ;)

[assailant0101]

holy shit that sounds nice coming off of a 78.

[Individuell83]

@assailant0101 78 can sound amazing but the biggest problem ist most people played most of the 78rpm records back with steel needles and that really destroys all of the records that were recorded with electrical equipment... and that are most of them

[DwMaquero]

Eso si es sonido 5.1 Digital xDDD y lo demas son tonterias ¿donde tiene la conexion optica o coaxial?. Saludos xDD

[yopascualin]

Es inalambrico!! y tiene ambas conexiones. Ademas sirve como batidora, etc

Es genial! :)

[16mmDJ]

Wow it plays 78s so well!

Beautiful song too, along with the player.

[dandeb5559]

That is one of the most amazing record changers that I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing it with us! Most of the early fully electric record changers used osmium-tipped needles. If you could adjust the weight of the tone arm to an ounce or two, installing an Astatic 51-2 cartridge would be an improvement. Also install some light-weight tone arm wire. The song is great too!

[gramophoneshane]

Nice changer!

[yopascualin]

Hi, it´s an honour a comment from you!

Was very hard it´s tuning but there is!

A lot of thanks.

[glennmillerfan]

That Is Wierd That It Uses Steel Needles Beacuse Sappire Pickups Were Introduced In 1938.The Only Steel Needles That Dont Ruin Records Are Deccatone,Fidelitone,Recoton,L­aubscher,And Victor Tungs-tone,But Only Use Tungs-Tone Needles On Victrolas Or Victor Talking Machines.

[glennmillerfan]

You Can Use Tungs-Tone Needles On All Victor Machines Until 1938.

[teendude16]

This is a nice turntable to watch, but it wears out the records fast, and even the astatic needles are still wearing out and distroying the records, the best thing to do is to just display it, and it be none operational. Thanks.

[seatboi]

@teendude16 NO, theses type of units DO NOT destroy the records! The records are made HARD & the SAPPHIRE tip tracks MUCH lighter & does NOT hurt the grooves AAND..letting antique changers just sit around without use makes them gum up & not work! I do professional restoration & RECCOMMEND that all restored units get played at LEAST 2 hours a month to keep them operating properly! What's the use in having this stuff just to look at? I play ALL MY records...even my Elvis 78's!

[wb5oxq]

Is there no counterbalance spring under the arm to reduce the weight? Does it use replacable steel needles like acoustic players? A cartridg that accepts a diamond stylus might prove to be the answer. A neat looking changer.

[yopascualin]

It has a spring to reduce the weight under the tonearm. It uses only semipermanent steel needles. Using a sapphire needle ruins the records. Even the spring, the weight of the tonearm is too high. I think the best will be the tungsten needles of His master´s voice.

Thanks you.

[glennmillerfan]

Sappire Is Actually The Best Type Of Needle For 78s,Even Better Than Fibre Or Wooden Needles.Loud-Tone Type Steel Needles Become A Cutting Edge After One Play Beacuse Of The Needle Forming To The Groove Walls On The Record.Soft-Tone Type Steel Needles Are Different Beacuse The Tip Decerases In Size During Play,But Sappire Still Gives Less Wear.I Think They Made Sappire Needles That Would Go In Machines Designed For Steel Needles Around 1938 By The Walco Company.

[LHUPA]

This is a stunning masterpiece! It would be also used in a kind of home jukebox! Music has always inspired machinists!

[tubellarbells]

You must be kidding !...this is jaw-dropping. Muchas gracias por dejarnos ver una de estas reliquias en vida !. $ thumbs up to yopascualin (applause sound effect).

These are so strange that even look Giger-ish to me. How could you find such a glossy working unit!. Real lucky you are.

I now don't know if I like more the song or the changer LOL.Does the wire at the back of tonearm connect it with the amp ?

[rodmauldin]

where did you get this??????

[rodmauldin]

where did you get this??????

[rodmauldin]

where did you getr this?

[Falcons66]

Dont know if my first comment posted. If not......WOW....What a great item! very very very cool piece. Thanks for sharing it with us. !

[yopascualin]

Hi Justin. The comments appears late sometimes, I don´t know why! But at last..

A lot of thanks. I want to find a solution to this changer, the tonearm is too heavy and the records get completely destroyed!!

[Falcons66]

I have the same problem...You get a note from youtube saying there is a comment,b ut it wont show up. What I usually do is click the thing that says 'see all 9 messages' at the bottom of the comments. It usually shows up there for some reason.

I hope you get this figured out, But even if you dont.....You can buy stacks of 78's for next to nothing. Just grab random, dirty old 78's and have fun with it. Most of them are (sadly) worthless, and too pricey to ship, so they can be had cheap!Enjoy!

[dewey70]

Man thanks for posting this!! I've always wanted to see one of these operate!

[Mudimush]

That control lever reminds me of the stick shift on a car. What are all of the positions?

[yopascualin]

Stop (neutral position)

Start or reject

Repeat record one or indefined times.

It has too a red lamp while the cam gear is working but doesn´t shine!

The "clock" pause function too.

Thanks Mudi.

[massidob]

5 star ;)

[yopascualin]

Gracias rey! Muaks!!

[tubeie07]

What a beautiful machine! It looks like a kitchen appliance! I have heard about these great TTs and have seen photos, but in person (so to speak) just amazing. Could you share a few more details - how you got it, did you have to repair - does it use steel needles and what type of cartridge does it use? Great Video!

[yopascualin]

Hi Mark. I bought it in a spanish bidding web, buy it now! like non working. 30 euros!

It was originally blocked. I had to disamble completely to clean all the parts and guess it working! It took me 1 week. Fits a magnetic cartridge and steel semipermanent needles. I´ve just bought some "S" 78rpm sapphire needles to play it. Manufacturated in 1944.

Thank you Mark.

[radiogram56]

¿De qué año es el tocadiscos?

[yopascualin]

Hola Roberto! Es de 1944. Compra directa en todocoleccion por 30 euros. No funcionaba por la grasa seca! Y ahi está..

Gracias.

[radiogram56]

Que maravilla de tocadiscos!!! Tienes una colección alucinante.Que pasada!! y bueno, la melodía una caña también.

[yopascualin]

Muchas gracias rey. Por cierto: una preguntita. He comprado algunas de esas agujas en forma de "S" con la punta de zafiro para usar en este aparato. Es la q tu usas en la jukebox, no? Q tal eso?

[radiogram56]

Sinceramente yo las encuentro blandas. No se a tí el resultado que te darán. Ya me contarás. A mi no me terminan de convencer, la verdad.

Por otro lado, que buena compra!!!!!!!! Te felicito!!!!!!

[tubeie07]

What an amazing turntable!!! I have heard about these and seen photos, but in person (so to speak) it looks like a bright gleaming kitchen toaster! Could you give some detail as to how you came to have it and more about the operation as I am very interested. Thanks for posting this unique machine!

[yopascualin]

Kitchen toaster! ha ha ha, really!

It has start and stop functions, intermixes sizes, autostop after the last record, the "clock" adjustable pause and repeat function. It detects the final eccentric or concentric groove, no spiral groove or damaged repeating records to trip the mechanism. So it can´t be used like a simple record player. It´s completely automatic. Amazing!
