What brand is it? Sharp?
Is there any chance you could post a higher-resolution image? It's interesting that the record-level meters defelct horizontally. Most unusual. Thanks for the post. |

get these newsgroups or i dont know how to . Its Mitsubishi . I also have its wood case with glass doors . The case in only as tall as the unit itself . As for the meters they were used on more early transistor radios . |

Presumably, with this setup, the pickup also has
absolutely zero tracking error? No, it has just enough error to drive the servo system that keeps the arm moving across the record at _almost_ perfect perpendicularity. |

"Ken G." wrote in message ... More wierd stuff . This plays the record standing up . I remember these guys. Interesting player. As others have already mentioned, Seeburg did something like this on their jukeboxes. They used a mechanism that set the record on a vertical turntable, and played it with a tone arm that had two needles. The tone arm would be placed on the left or right of the record, depending on the side that was to be played. The turntable would move in either direction, again according to the side. I also remember, at hi-fi shows Dual used to have a demo that played records upside-down. This is really not hard to do -- simply adjust the counterweight (or in the case of Dual, counterweight and counterspring). The spindle was threaded, so a wingnut would hold the record in place. They would hang it from the ceiling by springs. Back in the day, for whatever strange reason, it convinced me to buy a Dual. I played mine right-side-up however. -- Gary E.

Tayman/Tayman Electrical Sound Solutions For Classic Cars http://www.taymanelectrical.com I remember the Seeburg unit. There was a clothing store in Rochester NY that had one in their men's department. Weirdest place I've ever found a juke box. It's too bad vinyl fizzled out when it did. There was a lot of interesting stuff coming out at the time, including a few new turntables that played both sides of an album and auto switched from one side to the other. A friend had one - it may have been by Sharp - you just slid the album partially in, it auto fed the album into position and started playing. Front panel controls & LED display for track selection programming as well. Rick |
