Default 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...?


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.
