Collaro record changer


 The absolute limit of luxury, no need to get off the couch for hours as your records change themselves! (of course you have to pre-stack them yourself... and no replays) 

The Rockbar Corp. name is long gone, it's now the name of a bar in the village, Collaro was a British company that was absorbed by Magnavox in 1962.

Hours? I think maybe a half hour at the most.

The same babysitter who taught my sister and I to smoke Marlboros taught us to stomp hard on the floor to fix a skipping record without having to walk over to the turntable. Sometimes it worked, but we didn't weigh all that much (she did).

You can see this turntable in action on YouTube but only with a stack of 45s...if you "intermixed" sizes, I wonder if it somehow changed RPM as well?
