@slowpawstevet3676 I must be a hero then! the rest of the 300 or so videos on my channel are mostly all restored record changers, that people bought based on the a record player commercial like this you just watched
Not really. LPs were created at a time when record changers were the norm, and changers remained the norm for another 30 years or so. I have reords dating back to the 1960s that are in fine shape, including a batch that was included with a Magnavox stereo console that I bought at an estate sale.
@@areeko My reply was to the original poster, who claimed you were some sort of brave man to stack records on a changer. I don't think it's necessarily brave to do so; records manufactured at the time were made specifically for use on such equipment. I was alive when my Magnavox was manufactured, too. In fact, it's identical to the one my old man had, aside from the color. I think dad's may have had the upgraded amp, too, but I can't be sure of that. Granted, I was four at the time, but that thing was solid and beautfiul and sounded magnificent for the better part of 20 years. before he sold it rather than moving it all the way fron Dubuque to Cincinnati. Damned shame, I loved that old Micromatic changer, and it was the reason I bought the one I have now. Almost 60 years old and it runs butter-smooth. The records I got with it sound wonderful. One of the records that were included with it was the first release of SINATRA AT THE SANDS.
My recollection of the BSR turntables was that they were generally very poor performers, often found in the cheapest "all-in-one" stereo setups. My wife had one where the friction was so enormous in the tone-arm pivot that you could visibly see the needle straining left and right in the cartridge as the platter turned. Basically wore out the groove after a few playings. IMO not worth repairing.
Sounds like it needed some service. that's not nomal on any changer. They offered bunches low and high end models and were the largest manufacturer in the day, but they all had their ups and downs!
@@slowpawstevet3676 Agreed, good name "vinyl rippers" BTW. I've had at least a dozen turntables through the years -- BSR, Garrard, Philips, Technics, Onkyo, Sanyo, B&O etc. My favorite by far is the one I use now, it's the Radio Shack Realistic LAB-2200 Linear Tracking Direct Drive Turntable. Doesn't look like much but it's awesome. I can even still get cartridges for it. Never going back to a non-linear TT.

i remember early turntables like the one you describe, we used to call them vinyl rippers! the later one in the video was not that bad though.
