I too liked those old Hi-Fi-stereo consoles.The changers in them were interesting. Over the years I have owned several of these TT's as well.For awhile(high school) years I used a VM changer that came from some ?? console with an Eico amplifier.My Moms Manavox also had the Collaro TT with the "Feather Touch" tonearm.Replaced the motor in it once.Had a gold colored metal record overarm.Was from early 60's was looking for a similar "Concert Grand" Manavox Hi-Fi.loved the sound quality of it.Played MANY records on it as a teen.The Zenith BD TT is interesting.Remember their "Cobra-Matic" TT's?Fixed one for someone.
At WRC-FM in Wash DC-toured thru it in the early 70's they were playing "Easy Listening" music at the time.the station was in one room in the Wash DC NBC building. The room contained their two RCA FM transmitters and two racks of Schaffer program automation systems. Part of the automation was two Seeburg Jukebox record changers tied into the system.They were used as program sources along with RR tape machines and cart machines.(Cart Carrousels- a "changer" by itself")Worked on those-sometimes very cranky devices.The time annoucements were two cart machines with long carts that had even and odd time announcements.Was funny when the clock was out-or a machine jammed.
