Specs to recreate Record Loader for 1927 Electrola Changer

Post by Victrola-Monkey »

Though some of my changer machines I've sold have their Record Loaders, some do not. Some of the folks that have purchased my machines that do not have their Record Loaders, have inquired how to obtained one for their machine or the details so they can recreate their own. Below are photos and a pdf download file that contains the specs for those who have the skills and tools, or the resources to have their own made.

Note that the first picture shows the Early style which has the ring tip, while the pictures below that are of an Late style with the pointy tip.

Please add this detail to Wayne's drawings. I once made 2 of these for friends. All you need ins a small lathe and you can make it all.
