As Ron mentioned, it was common for the 78rpm-only changers to be "changed out" in the late 40's/early 50's when the new record formats came onto the market. Most of the younger set wanted the 45 rpm records with their vast music selection. It was much cheaper to have your local radio shop install a new changer into your existing set, than to buy a whole new unit.
