Thanks all!... It sounds as if the Collaro Changer is actually a pretty decent unit. 3 grams or so does not worry me too much! Did any models use a magnetic cartridge ?
8-10 grams scares the heck outa me... Which models should be avoided for this reason? Did Zenith, RCA and other major brands use the Collaro changer?

I think the most common changers were Voice of Music. They were used in many sets. The one that I have is a model 951-3 and has a separate needle for 78, and 45&33-1/3. It's supposed to be set at 10-12 grams. I have mine at 10. You don't want to go too low in tracking force with a low compliance cartridge.

You can retrofit many changers to a high compliance magnetic cartridge.
