Them Changes - autochangers

[Barry]

Hello Dave,

If you look carefully at Chris's last posting (#9), you can, with some thought, see how the lift mechanism works.

The spigot of both the record storage, and of the turntable itself, is an adjustable internal collet. The record selector arm also has an internal collet which can fit inside the record hole, yet not conflict with the spigot collet.

Clearly a very complicated mechanism to get everything to work in the correct order - with ample opportunity for things to go wrong. Hence my facetious comment: "the ultimate cuckoo clock".

Clever these Swiss!
