FOR SALE: 1928 Sparton 99 Radio Phonograph Changer - Inquire

[marco]

How Does the Changer Work?

Does it drop records one at a time onto the turntable; or does is pick them up one at a time?

Either way; do the records stay in place after playing or are they deposited in the padded drawer you put in your photographs as with the Victor 10/50?

The records hang above the turntable from a large "Elephant Trunk" shaped assembly, the turntable spindle lifts out of the turntable and trips a lever on the mechanism holding the records and releases one record. The record is lowered onto the turntable where the tone arm moves over and plays the record.

When the song is finished, there is a rubber bumper which lifts the back edge of the record causing the turntable to "Fling" the record into a shute and down into a padded drawer in the center of the cabinet. Then the spindle lifts up for another record.

The Sparton and the Victor 10-50 are very similar.
