Vinyl vs CD: The final verdict
 

A couple of them sound close, but it's difficult to know without a
picture.

Here's what I can remember:

Colour: Gunmetal grey.

Black rubber mat with one or two silver metal rings glued to the mat
which,
in turn, was glued to the platter.

Vertical (not angled) spindle with a split pin style means of dropping the
records.

There was a separate hinged rest which sat on records that were waiting to
be dropped - it wasn't curved as some of those in the pictures I've seen,
it
was straight and then went off at an angle for the last 2" or so.

Played at 16, 33, 45 & 78 rpm and had size adjustments for 7, 10 & 12
inches.

The stylus was a flipper - 78 tip on one side, flip it over for slower
speeds.

It would have been sold naked (no case) - or removed from it, as it was
mounted on its springs into a cabinet which also housed the receiver.

I'd recognise it if I saw it...


Think we're out of luck. Try this - best I can do at such short notice {no
scanner to hand :-( }

I'll leave them there for a few days.

AT.60 looked good candidate - but it automatically detected record size; and
it was green. AT.70 too but it had a bend spindle with pusher. No other
changer here has metallic ring detail in the mat.

According to the 39 year old price list - the 401 would cost you £32 inc
tax. Those were the days, eh...?

What about the Ipod generation with their 10,000 songs then?

Yes, very nice, only at 128 kbps. That's not even mid-fi.

FWIW, I get around 4,000 songs on my 40gb iPod (all at 320kbps - the only
way to listen to MP3...)

Thanks for posting these!

Interesting - without reading your comments about colour, I would've said
the AT60 which, curiously, appears identical to the SP25 that I thought I
had, but with the autochanger - must be on the right track.

It definitely isn't the AT700.

Thanks Iain,
I could only find a photo of the SL72B and this wasn't it - it had
sliding
rather than rotary controls for speed and size.
Struggling to find photos of the other models - any suggestions?

Then perhaps it is the SL75B which had one rotary control on the left
hand side of the front plate and then three toggle levers on the right.
Does that ring a bell?


Iain

Sounds possible - a slide switch on the front right for off/on/auto (I
think) and then two up the right hand side for speed and size.

What was the rotary switch's function?

From memory, it was a four position rotary to select speed and record
size.

Don't suppose you know of a picture anywhere - Google provides no joy.

I may have an old sales brochure somewhere, I must dig.
