Needle Changing Reproducer

Several years ago, a reproducer appeared on Ebay which had a chute attached to one side, and could hold 10 or 12 needles. It somehow changed the needle automatically. Now, I wish to learn if anyone has one, or information on them? This reproducer is not the same as the one which was used on the Gabel Automatic Entertainer. Can anyone help? Cheers, Russie

I've seen a video of one from the UK that changed needles with the push of a button.

I wonder where you saw that. Maybe U-tube? I'll check. ThanX, Russie

Here is a YouTube link. The video shows random inventions from the 1920s, the reproducer you are talking about is shown at 2:14.

Wow, thanks for that entertaining Utube video. Some really Kool stuff there. The needle changer looks similar to the one I'm talking about. I wonder if any are out there?
