Looking at the reproducer picture you can see a little thumbscrew just above the turntable felt, basically the same as most normal disc playing reproducers.

Clearly it doesn't change itself after each play! Imagine the machinery involved in that maneuver! :shock:

WOW It would be really neat to see it restored and working.
