THIS IS ANOTHER ITEM FROM MY RELATIVES ESTATE. THERE IS A NOTE ATTACHED WHICH STATES THAT IT WAS REMOVED IN WORKING CONDITION FROM A 1950’S MARCONI RADIOGRAM. THE CARTRIDGE IN THE PLUG-IN HEAD IS MONO AND THE STYLUS IS A DOUBLE DIAMOND L.P. ST 15. THE MOTOR SHOWS A CONTINUITY OF ABOUT 150 OHMS AND WHEN THE TURNTABLE IS ROTATED BY HAND THE PICK-UP ARM MOVES TO THE START POSITION AND AT THE CENTRE IT RETURNS AND SWITCHES OFF. I HAVEN’T ATTEMPTED TO CONNECT TO THE MAINS BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE MECHANISM AFTER ALL THESE YEARS IS VERY DRY AND NEEDS TO BE LUBRICATED AND I DID NOT WISH TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE.
THE TURNTABLE APPEARS TO BE FELT COVERED AND THE ARMS APPEAR TO BE BAKELITE. THE MOTORBOARD, TURNTABLE AND METALWORK ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND VIRTUALLY UNMARKED.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN AUTOCHANGE MECHANISM LIKE THIS BEFORE PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS.
MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT IT IS A GARRARD UNIT THAT WAS SPECIALLY MADE FOR THE MARCONI RADIOGRAM.
BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE UNIT THE BUYER MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT’S ELECTRICAL SAFETY
NO GUARANTEE OF ELECTRICAL SAFETY IS GIVEN OR IMPLIED.
