How a 1949 RCA Record Changer Should Play Records

On June 21, 1948, Columbia Records introduced the 33 rpm Long Playing microgroove record format. RCA less than one year later, in 1949 came out with the same principal idea, but totally different in the details: a record changer only playing their new 45 rpm 7 records. 164 different versions of this mid-century cult record changer are known, those with the original 1949 chassis RP-168 and those with the improved and cheaper RP-190 chassis, introduced one year later, those with and without amplifier and some combined with an AM radio. A 33 rpm 12 record lasts 20 minutes, the couch potato jump up time for a 45 rpm RCA changer loaded with 10 discs is 40 minutes, or for extended 45's more than two hours! Here we have the 1950 attachment 45-J-2 - you choose your own amplifier, or connect it to a radio of your choice. And here is the ABC for a joyful 45 experience: A. a serviced idler wheel, B. a new modern cartridge and C. a serviced and calibrated automatic, that plays records from start to end at 45 rpm and changes them - not repeats them. Adjustments for Dropping, Pickup height, Landing, Tripping etc have to be made. Check the ABC before you buy, this attachment will pass the test. Also for sale are about 1000 45 rpm records, most of them previously owned by Living Sounds , a karaoke venue in Exeter, Devon, England. The following video uses my rare Telechron 8H67 Urea radio for amplification. Note the famous Beatles Hey Dude fade-out coda that lasts for more than four minutes and demonstrates the quietness of the gramophone itself. I counted the number of records we just played: 12! Both, the record changer (ref.1) and the radio clock (ref.2) are for sale • ref.1: http://www.radio-antiks.com/Ebaymin2_... • ref.2: http://www.radio-antiks.com/Ebaymin2_...
