For the record, I'm glad I never acquired any of the over-built monsters with two or three chrome-plated chassis, motor-driven tuning etc., which I so admired 30 years ago. Also, most old cabinet designs are striking but some are ugly and others are beautiful. Back then I thought only the schematic could be ugly or beautiful. The only 78 rpm record changer, that I've seen, and believe deserves to be kept is the one in the Philco Beam-of-Light radios that did NOT have the recording feature. BOL is a rare, collectable feature but the machinery of the changer is admirable too.
