Thorens TD-224 Record Changer - Changing 45 RPM Records 

I think the reason for cutting the records show as to avoid copyright issues. On the websites I've seen you are only allowed to play a few seconds of a song to avoid a copyright issue (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Then see this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-87P7xygDcs0.html

This is equally weird to the Perpetuum Ebner (PE) PW10 spiral changer

There is nothing wrong with a good old record changer where you stack the records. I own several. Yes, this was/is a high end unit.

Thing's got some serious flyweight lol

❤TT Could Use A Drop Of Oil,😮 Or Some Teflon 😊

So does the arm set down on the platter instead of shutting off? I still have the original mat too. For some reason the machine would occasionally have trouble picking up 7" 45's from the platter. The thinner DJ slip mat seemed to solve the problem.

Watching, one concern I saw was that it looked like the tone arm was going to drop on the empty turntable after the last record finished playing.

Thanks. It plays all 4 speeds, and all size records up to 12".

@@rexoliver7780 Also, notice that the arm is deliberately hitting the record edge before it's put on the platter to figure out its size -- or the absence of it.

@@ArnauldChevallier magnavox/collaros tt’s also tapped the record edges with arm head shell to sense record size.
