The VM changers being used in less costly sets using full size changers is sensible and I think correct. Talked to a ex retiree Magnavox dealer, he told me the economy mono consolettes were fitted with a VM 1200 family changer, the Collaros were used in the model up from the economy model. The 1966 and later economy changers were spot on as far as magnasonic66 is concerned. The Mark 1 plasticrap bomb changer was a very badly made and engineered unreliable nightmare (Maestro built these failures under license or bought the tooling, this and the last RCA changer design tied for the worst USA built changers of the era). The Automatic 400 was a very decent changer for a economy changer.
