That's what I was thinking, a Collaro Record Changer, those are actually very easy to work on, I had one of those in an old Magnavox Console I had gotten from Goodwill years ago that the changer didn't work right and all I had to do was clean the old grease out of the changer mechanism and relubed the mechanism and put it back together and it worked again.
These Collaro Changers are actually much gentler on your records than your V-M record changers because they actually stop the turntable platter when changing the records and then starts the platter again after dropping the record but before dropping the tone arm, and its able to do that because it has 2 idler tires, one that rotates the platter and one that operates the changer mechanism.
Hope this helps.
