Do you know the make and model of this record player? My Grandpa gave me this one. I do not own the copyright to these songs used here.

That is a VM Tri-O-Matic 950.

The reason it did not trip when you started the motor with the needle on the record is that you started it in manual mode. When it shuts off, the trip link is disengaged from the tone arm finger post. It will not trip after a record plays unless it first makes one change cycle with the overarm UP. All VM's were designed that way. Later models had a mechanism to park the tonearm on the rest post if the overarm was moved all the way up and out and the changer cycled.

i think that's a flip type of needle lift up the tone arm to see if it's a filp needle your 45's sound great

you have to get yourself a record needle that also plays your 78 rpm records

that's why your getting a destorted sound on that 78 rpm record playing

I don't know which model that is, but it's made by The Voice of Music (or V-M for short). Dates from the 1950s.
