- I'm not sure when this Sears phonograph was made. It has the appearance of being from the early 1970's. It has a BSR record changer and inputs for a tape player. It's in fairly good condition except for a warped platter. The changer functions still work!

My dad had this *exact* model when I was a kid, and I wore out the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack on it, as well as a host of Maynard Ferguson albums. It had a cool, smokey gray cover that simply rested, unattached, on top of it. Can't believe I stumbled on this, but thanks for sharing!! I know he bought this prior to 1974 (or possibly early 1974). Hours and hours of memories on this!!
The bomb proof BSR turntable
Nice BSR
I'd say 1973-1975. That's when slide pots were used in a lot of consumer products. Also, most BSR changers used the newer skinny ceramic cart during that time.
BSR changers are much-maligned by the audiophile snobs, but let me tell you something. They are simple, reliable, and built like tanks. I've never had to do anything more 'involved' with them than simple maintenance - clean out the dried-up old grease, re-lube it, and maybe renew the rubber of the idler wheel. Add a new needle and presto, it runs like brand new. And BSR built basically the same changer by the thousands for like 15 years, just with different features. Many of their single-play 'turntables' were just stripped-down changer units without the drop spindle or automatic mechanisms.
Yes BSR was really well designed. Easy on records. More reliable then Garrard changers.
Nice find for 10 bucks you really can't go wrong with theses old BSR players for a cheep player they where faithful an really didn't sound bad and they sure showed up in just about everything in the 70's
I wouldn't be surprised if someone had done some maintenance on this changer at some point. It would be amazing to think it lasted this long and wasn't frozen up or misbehaving. Thanks for watching.
Love this record player
MCS stood for "Modular Component System". You are correct, it was JC Penney's audio house brand.
For all the electronics I've had I'm not sure I've ever had an MCS. Well, now I have a dust cover!
Some of the MCS kit was surprisingly good
identical to my sister's jc Penney she got in 1975
oh the rock n roll that played through it. everything from aerosmith to zz topp.
I can almost hear it...good music, good times! Thanks
HI Dan, could I ask you how many watt for channel it provides?you can get this info in the manual service.Thank you in advance.Regards
I guess 1975 to 1976. It has the cue lever in the back that BSR started putting on their turntables. It looks like the headshell is housing either a T3MD stylus or T5HD stylus.
hi, can that type of tonearm match the audio technica needle? Thx u
the tone arm rest on this model changer you move the part that hits the side of the arm it snaps open to release the arm and you move it to the left to lock it in place
I have one like that by Lloyd's..
that warp is the rubber mat that has just come free in one place in the platter the tonearm rest has a manual locking feature that you have to move by hand it does not work when you turn it on or off
That looks like a knock-off of a Realistic Clarinette 2 from 1973-1974. Probably this was manufactured by the same company.
sure heard the static from that warp on the 78 lol, not a bad find for 10 bucks
i mean the warp on the turntable, using the 78
Yeah. Notice 45s sit in close to the spindle, far from the outer edge where the warp is most noticeable. Thanks for watching.
I had one of these. I would think I got it in 76 or 77.
skip over to 5:30 to hear the stereo play ...Nice player.
Hey, the next time you make or redo a video on that same stereo, move the treble all the way to the max just to hear that cd quality please! Don't be afraid to put it there. I do love your video though.
Taiwan?
I don't know. I don't see any markings on it or in the manual. If I ever open it up I might find something inside that says where it was made.
You should not let 78s drop they break easy
Thanks.
Nice vid! I've restored BSR record changers, and they function very well! Check out some of my vids.
For $10 you can’t expect it to work, period...
