I have a second changer mech I bought years ago that has the drive shaft but is missing the safety clutch (and a couple of other things). The cabinet is orio finish and still in very nice shape for it's age.
I still need to bring it in from the garage and reassemble it...I also need to build a bench stand for the changer mech so I can test it with the motor once I'm ready for that.
I may attempt to cast reproduction metal parts that my second mechanism is missing from ones this has. |
It's quite a radio, Riders vol 18,19 &20 have at lot of coverage on the various models of this set. It must have been very pricey in it day!
That record changer was a real dandy. I don't think too many of them survived!
