Vintage Portable Record Changers Tube Amplified - Mono
Record Changers
allow to stack records for automated uniterupted play - in other words: one would NOT have to get up to change the record until the stack is exhausted, becuase these amazing machines does the changing automatically.
The Record Changers shown on this page are the first upgrade away form Record players. This means: like record players usually stand alone and self contained, to have a built-in amplifier and speaker.
The record changers shown on this page come form a time when 78's were still in production. Thus any of these units will be perfect for 78's and 1950's mono LPs, but basically play all record types. It is said though: If having valauable mint condition collector records from a later manufacturing date, such as the 70's and 80's, a turntable or Hi-Fi record changer from these time aearas will treat your records more gentle. Some of the players shown here may have 78 only, but most offer 78 and 16 RPM in addition to 33 and 45 - thus also equipped with both sylie for 78 and LP. 16 RPM non transcription records was a format of the mid 50's to early 60's - allowing with the lower speed to double the play time compared to records of the same size. If needing 16 RPM: all of my units are labled as to what speeds they provide.
Portable units, as shown here in general are self contained - nothing else needed to play recrods, but as a in world of their own, they do not provide inputs or outputs to connect to other audio devices. This basically menas: Records can be played, but not recorded. So, If you want to record form records: have your record changer custom modified, or get one where I already performed the needed work. Or get a modern custom modified USB turntable. For available speeds please pay attention to the details in my item descriptions.
Most record changers shown here are tube amplified, which means nice vintage sound, but also a lot of work and hard to find parts to restore - to work properly and relaibly. Please remeber that my prices are based on the amount of work that was performed.

Vintage Multi Speed Record Changers - mono and stereo, tube and solid state
These units will be REFURBISHED TO ORDER:
2-7 Weeks Lead Time - The goal with my work: to bring the equipment back as close as possible to original specifications and to provide reliably working condition for decades to come. This takes hours and hours and HOURS of paistaking detail orineted work. Thus prices based on the amount of time and parts needed (some are quite hard to find! - which again takes time!) to achieve this goal. Prices for the items shown below in fully restored condition typically are $300-$900. As dedicated work time to focus just on one project is in short supply, the best time with the fastest turn around woudl be to order any one of these units will be in the summer ( - May through August - ), as at other times I may NOT be able to serve you very quickly, especially during late fall, winter and the first two months of the of the new year. A note: Rushing it and vintage audio equipment, or pushing for "discount prices" do not go together! Quality work takes as much time as it takes, to do it right - and right the first time! - And: often for the type of equipment of this age it takes to get back into it, over and over again, to improve and tweak until all is perfect, so that is can ship in top condiion! If needing to rush: Please inquire for these units in "AS-Found / AS-IS" condition - I do not compromise on the quality of my cratsmanship! Thank you for your understanding.

What is the difference between Record Changers, Record Players and the differnet turntable types?
Record Changers allow to play multiple records automaticly without interuption. A stand alone record change rusually provides amplifer and speakers.
© ultraelectronicactive.com
Record Players are usually one piece stand-alone playback devices that have all needed components built in, which includes a built-in amplifier and most often buil-in speakers. Some record players feature detachable speakers. Most Record Players do not provide and audio output and therefore are not suitable for transfering or recording. © ultraelectronicactive.com
Turntables are usually component type Hi-fi Stereo players that hook to an external amplifier or receiver. Almost all tunrntables output at "phono" level to hook up to a "phono" input. If no phono input is present a Phono-Preamplifier is required. See below for sub categories of turtnables: © ultraelectronicactive.com
Record Changer Turntables allow to play multiple records automaticly without interuption but do not include any amplifier - designed for hook-up to stereo equipment. If your amplifier / receiver does not provide a phono inputl, a Phono-Preamplifier is required © ultraelectronicactive.com
Automatic Turntables are usually component type Hi-fi Stereo players that hook to an external amplifier or receiver. Automatic turtnables serve records automatically (user presses a button - the turtnable moves the arm) soem have auto repeat functions, but none allow to stack multiple records. Tunrntables output at "phono" level to hook up to a "phono" input. If no phono input is present a Phono-Preamplifier is required. © ultraelectronicactive.com
Semi-Automatic Turntables are usually component type Hi-fi Stereo players that hook to an external amplifier or receiver. Semi-Automatic turtnables require the user to place the tone arm to play a record, but when the record has played the the turntable moves the arm back to it's rest and shuts off. A less expensive variation of semi-automatic players turns the motor off when playing is complete, and the more disirable varation of thsi sub category lifts up the tone arm and shuts the motor off. Tunrntables output at "phono" level to hook up to a "phono" input. If no phono input is present a Phono-Preamplifier is required.
