Ristaucrat M-400 Industrial-Strength Both-Sides 45 RPM Record Player Demo 

That is truly an amazing restoration of that record changer. It looks old fashioned but modern at the same time. Great job!

Very reminiscent of Seeburg Background Music System. Congrats, fantastic restoration

Wow! That's an impressive machine and a top restoration job! I'm a radio DJ and only use 45s on my 50s / 60s radio show. I use an old DUAL record changer to listen to preview my records at home but it only hold 10 to 12 records...this machine would be perfect to enjoy hours of music on 45 without having to change the records. The concept reminds me of early german NSM Fanfare Jukeboxes made in the 50s.

Wow. That's amazing and fascinating. I had never seen a record being played with the needle below it.

I'm incredibly impressed, Sir, with your technical expertise. You're clearly a wizard.

Damn what a clever device!!

The best record player video I have seen in a long time.

Wow! What an incredible record changer! Can you imagine designing and syncopating the working parts on such a machine? I can't! You did a remarkable job cleaning it up and restoring it like new. Congrats on a job well done! It's simply gorgeous!

that is completely fascinating. Even I have never seen anything like that before. Thank you. OMG - what a precise painstaking but wonderful restoration.

That's just a work of art. Thank you for restoring that!!!

Great work on your restoration of the Ristaucrat M-400!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!! Thanks for sharing this magnificent machine!

Very nice... always discovering new toys like this one... great job on the restoration!

Amazing restoration!!

Such a pleasure to watch, mesmerizing.

Top job matey, put a smile on my face.

Beautiful!!! Fantastic job!!

Amazing sound! You did an awesome job.

Amazing!!!! CongRATULATIONS a very masterpiece!

Awesome machine and job done sir :)

Oh WOW WOW WOW what an awesome thing love it and what a great job you have done

That's amazing how it plays both sides!

The most amazing 45 rpm player I have ever seen !!

Wow what a amazing beautiful peace of enginewity and nice job rebilding her

What can I say. Your videograpy is superb, too.

Freaking insane. I love that! I will be on the lookout for one of these as raw material.

what a great dumpster find. glad you saved it. nice machine

so glad you saved this, I don't think anyone could have done better

Amazing phonograph......Thanks for sharing!

Looks fantastic!

Thanks for the video very interesting, i bet its worth a small fortune now

Well, that's pretty amazing. Thanks for sharing.

AMAZING JOB !

A work of art.

That is amazing!

NICE JOB! I can't even imagine how many hours you spent on that. Full of parts that don't exist anywhere, anymore. Must have been a bit nerve-wracking at times.

I like the precision look of the mechanism.

OK, what shocked me was that the upside down player is spinning the the opposite direction of the plate on the bottom. It makes sense, but is is amazing to have reverse spinning things on the same hub and both work well!

That is the coolest record player I've ever seen...

Thats fantastic

WOW, I love it, wish that I got one like it

wow I would love one of these machines.

You did a real great work as it needs a real talent 👍

That is beautiful.

magnifique, toutes mes félicitations, j aime beaucoup, un belle appareil :-)

very interesting, dfw, thanks for posting.

Beautiful

That’s a wonderful restoration. It must have taken a bit of time to get the stylus pressure right for playing the record upside down. Very clever

Amazing restoration! Did the original cartridge still work or did you have to track down a new one? Also, can choose between playing only the A-sides versus playing both sides?

Great to see

diabolico! veramente fantastico almeno per la complessità.

Maravillosa esa maquina,es increíble que sirva la aguja por ambos lados del brazo guía wooo,y pensar que lo botaron y el lo recupero, increíble me dejó sin palabras,me fascina ese equipo pues nada felicidades por ese gran lo logro. 😎💯🤙

Amazing! I had never seen anything like this before. I have the Seeburg Background Music System that seems very similar to this but only plays special 9" records that are hard to find.

This unit can be a good background music system, especially when you use records, where both sides contains different artists.

que lindo nunca vi igual !

This looks as if it would be more at home inside of a jukebox or somethin'. However, this would be great to have, especially for those double-sided hit records. Very interesting looking and great sound. Great job in restoring it!!!

Great machine :)

nice job neighbor

I have never seen a record changer like this.

Mi nombre es Raul Cobas y me identifico desde todo punto de vista con la era analógica y soy apasionado al rescate y devolución de la vitalidad de todo equipo de válvulas electrónicas. "El oído humano es analógico".

Wish I had one of those.

AWSOME !!!

This is cool

I'm in love.

What does maintain the tracking when playing the bottom sides ? i remember 'till 50 years ago some Wurlitzer sound machines where the records stays at a carroussel magazine in vertical position and played the records at vertical too...

Oh hello, indeed! So in fact, it doesn't change directions, the top always spins counter clockwise and the bottom always clockwise. That's fairly clever and also hilarious.

Hey there wow such a great machine this is amazing how both sides are played . and it is so precise and accurate . Great job restoring this marvel . can you please tell me the artist doing handbone thank you very much and keep the great videos and vintage gear coming

Bellissimo !!!!

beautiful, but imagine working in the store where those songs would play every hour fifteen or so!

Thanks. The original cartridge is there. The machine doesn't allow you to pick sides.

Wow. Found that!!?? Must be up North. Id never find that down here in the South

How did you find a dual sided cartridge? Or did you mount two cartridges back to back?

I want one of these....

This thing is *amazing*! And it sounds incredible. Did you mod it for a magnetic cartridge, or is that an original ceramic?

Who did that version of "The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea" ?

Personal stereos were BIG in the past X)

who would throw such a beautiful machine O_O

Wow!

I've never seen anything like that before. This company was better at mechanics than they were at Electronics

Q fascinante

♥

verey interesting pice, could be usefull for alot of 45s.

adorei a música

incrivel

The Seeburg BMC looks amazingly similar.

Tiene una gran fidelidad.......OK

Is this a stereo system?

Is the music we are hearing coming from this player?

WoW

Looking at how this works, I’d think it’s the inspiration for the seeburg background music player, as it works the exact same way. The only difference is that the records it plays aren’t 45s.

Similar to the Seeburg 1000 background music player.

what's the name of the record first played on the machine?

What was the first song played on the machine

does it stereo ore mono playback only?.

Hello love this vintage gear it was built much better then today's audio gear . can you please tell me who the artist of hambone is at 1 minute and 28 seconds thank you and keep the great vintage gear videos coming they are great

What is the version of this song at 3:43

what gives that great sound

I think, in the arm isn't enough space for two Pickering pickups with built in brush.

kool

I wonder if anyone built something similar for 12" 33s. That could provide hours of music, but it would be a challenge playing both sides of a record with a small hole, with no easy way to hold the "upper" records in place.
