A demonstration of my early Brunswick record changer. A Victor Tungs-tone needle was used in the video. A studio condenser microphone placed in front of the speaker was used to record the sound. A special thanks to Earl Hennagir for helping me source a replacement speaker. His KZfaq channel can be found here: / earlnut

Wonderful video describing the machine and nice selection of songs. What a wonderful machine. Chuckled at the rejection halfway thru the Al Jolson record 😜

The record will forever be an obsession for me. The many innovations of these early instruments is impressive. The Garrard, Philco beam of light, and Capehart flipper changers are just a few of the best. Just wonderful.....

Beautiful old record player. I wish I could afford to have one. I like it because it changes records automatically. There's a lot of good music on the old 78 RPM records.

Extremely interesting and enlightening demonstration. Great sound for early amplification. About the best I've heard on KZfaq. Handsome cabinet. A+

I have it's little brother, the model 12A. All 1931 Brunswick radios were beautiful and great performers, although mine has the odd pot metal "turret-top" chassis that can be a nightmare to restore if you have to dig into it. Luckily mine works nicely with just some minor restoration work. Anyway, your set is both rare and gorgeous, and sounds incredible too.

I LOVE this! What a BEAUTIFUL Machine! ("It Was A Nigh In June" by Anson Weeks Orchestra 6569 Brunswick playing at first) Brunswick made both BEAUTIFUL Players and Records!

You can purchase new 78 rpm needles that are sapphire tipped and last 400 plays per needle, instead of the metal needles that are recommended to be replaced after each play.

$480.00 in 1931...strictly for the "Carriage Trade"! Beautiful home entertainer such craftsmanship and engineering! I have a Victor 10-30...features the second generation changer and is Orthophonic...acoustical...no electronics. Also a fine sounding machine.

That capacitor was toast. I have a model 15 radio as well! Just put it on bench but noticed the caps look destroyed! What did you do to rebuild that section?

I also have a model 42 in my home, it is on my workbench at this moment. I have had it for over 20 years and did have it working at one time, however, my "fixes" were amatuerish and I need to do a real restoration this time. Two of the motor mounts are broken off but I have them and the only way to get the motor out is to dismantle the changing mechanism. I looked upon it as a daunting task but I see in your video you were able to do that. I was not sure if I might disrupt some kind of timing alignment. I have several questions for you, do you have an email address?

So, the reject button has to be depressed when playing a Brunswick record with its non-circulating runout grooves? (And a Columbia?)

@EnerG15 5 жыл бұрын

Yes, if the record doesn't have an oscillating runout groove, the machine has no way of knowing when the record has ended and the button has to be pressed to start the changer cycle.
