Apollo "Instantaneous" Record Repeater
I thought I would share this seldom seen Apollo record repeater. I like how they use "Instantaneous" to describe it's function. Is there any other kind of repeater... .

Re: Apollo "Instantaneous" Record Repeater
Excellent sharing. I liked your repeater stop video too.
Though the mechanism are simple, its much intriguing at times.
This is what I guess draws us to explore more. Like you I also take immense interest in gramophone related accessories.
This is so fascinating. Lets keep up and cheers D:)

Re: Apollo "Instantaneous" Record Repeater
Very nice presentation!
Would you have a scan of the setup directions possibly?
Repeating that record selection over and over might drive anyone nuts!
Three dollars was a lot for that era.
Thanks for posting.
