thanks for posting this. I've got a portable GE thats a bit older and more bulky but i couldn't for the life of me figure out how the auto loader worked! thanks.
These mono portables with an automatic changer were called "Swingmates." Next up the line was stereo with fixed speakers on the sides and they were "Wildcat" models. After them, was "Mustang" with removeable speakers, and beyond those were the Trimlines with less plastic and beefier speakers and amps. Below "Swingmate" was "Playmate" with the indentical cabinet but single-play turntable, mostly aimed at kids.
Just bought a late 60's GE Super Star the red white and blue case off Craigslist for 15 bucks =] Still plays awesome =]

@dvlaries Beside the 1974 GE I have, I also have 3 of the non-GE record players w/ the same exact case made 1977/78.

I had/still have that record player! It has a mind of it's own... it starts into the song and ends it when it wants to!

@FrancisRidley: Likewise, no "nostalgia" record player can ever top the performance of these old units.

@three185: It IS a low-budget knock-off soundalike cover version that's played in the video.
