SOLD: Very Scarce 1911 Condon AutoStop in Gold - $140

Post by FellowCollector »

Here's a really interesting and difficult to find early disc phonograph accessory: the CONDON AUTOSTOP along with its often missing reproducer attachment. This hefty little accessory sits on top of the turntable spindle (and record) and when the reproducer reaches the user-adjusted area on the record where they want the turntable to stop, the pointer on the device will contact the reproducer attachment and the turntable will glide to a gentle stop using 3 soft circular rubber contact pads on the underside of the device. Sorry, that sentence was way too long but I wanted to give you an idea how it works. ;)

This is in really nice condition and all you need to do is replace the three rubber pads which are original and dried out on it.

Here's a video graciously posted a while back by a Forum member so you can get an idea how one of these functions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ER2-yCyxKg

PM with interest. USPS shipping additional at cost.

Thanks,
Doug
