Vintage Portable Stereos - Tube Amplified S T E R E O Record Changers
Record Changer Stereos
were quite popular during the 60's and 70's and came in different incarnations. The early unit are tube amplified, where later units are solid state. Tube sound, earliy solid state sound and sound of modern equipment are quite differet.

The record changers of these often "portable" units were more refined in regards to tone arm sensitivity, weight and tracking force, compared to earlier desings, and thus are perfectly suitable for "modern" records - mono and stereo form any time aera, up to today. Almost all units offer at least 3 speeds: 33, 45, 78
Some of the record changer stereos have jacks for external speakers and fewer audio inputs, originally intended for hook up of a tape player, but can be used ofr example to hook up an iPd. Almost none of the record change rstereos have recording outputs. This means: perfect for listening but cannot be useed to record records from. In regards to inputs and outputs: observe the details in my feature sections if having specific requirements other than to listen to records.

While Record Changer Stereos often are quite nice and have enough output power to fill a room nicely with music, they are simpler and less sophisticated than a full component Hi-Fi system as often only 1/4 to 1/2 of the technology used if compared with a full component type Hi-Fi amplifier. This means: In some cases Changer stereos sound amazign due to the much simpler amplifer circuitry, but do not adhere to as tight specifications to their counter part component systems. So: expect a bit more noise and hum, especially in systems that do not use a power transformer for their amplifier. If listening to music that has a lot of quiet passages, such as classical music, a full sized system may be a better choice, but will be more expensive.

Vintage Record Changer Stereos
These units will be Refurbished To order:
2-7 Weeks Lead Time - Price Range: Fully restorred typically: $400-$900 (solid state lower, tube higher). The goal with my work: to bring the equipment back as close as possible to original specifications and to provide reliably working condition for decades to come. This takes hours and hours and HOURS of paistaking detail orineted work. Thus prices based on the amount of time and parts needed (some are quite hard to find! - which again takes time!) to achieve this goal. Shop time to refurbish equipment to order (applies to ALL units shown in this section!) is in SHORT SUPPLY, so I may not be able to serve you very quickly, especially during late fall, winter and the first two months of the of the new year. Shortest turn around time: Mid summer. Rushing it and vintage audio equipment, or pushing for "discount prices" DO NOT GO TOGETHER! It takes as much time as it takes. If needing to rush: Please buy "AS-IS" and refurbish yourself. I do not compromise on this, as my goal is to provide quality products in every detail.

What is the difference between Record Changers, Record Players and the different turntable types?
Record Changers allow to play multiple records automaticly without interuption. A stand alone record change rusually provides amplifer and speakers.
© ultraelectronicactive.com
Record Players are usually one piece stand-alone playback devices that have all needed components built in, which includes a built-in amplifier and most often buil-in speakers. Some record players feature detachable speakers. Most Record Players do not provide and audio output and therefore are not suitable for transfering or recording. © ultraelectronicactive.com
Turntables are usually component type Hi-fi Stereo players that hook to an external amplifier or receiver. Almost all tunrntables output at "phono" level to hook up to a "phono" input. If no phono input is present a Phono-Preamplifier is required. See below for sub categories of turtnables: © ultraelectronicactive.com
Record Changer Turntables allow to play multiple records automaticly without interuption but do not include any amplifier - designed for hook-up to stereo equipment. If your amplifier / receiver does not provide a phono inputl, a Phono-Preamplifier is required © ultraelectronicactive.com
Automatic Turntables are usually component type Hi-fi Stereo players that hook to an external amplifier or receiver. Automatic turtnables serve records automatically (user presses a button - the turtnable moves the arm) soem have auto repeat functions, but none allow to stack multiple records. Tunrntables output at "phono" level to hook up to a "phono" input. If no phono input is present a Phono-Preamplifier is required. © ultraelectronicactive.com
Semi-Automatic Turntables are usually component type Hi-fi Stereo players that hook to an external amplifier or receiver. Semi-Automatic turtnables require the user to place the tone arm to play a record, but when the record has played the the turntable moves the arm back to it's rest and shuts off. A less expensive variation of semi-automatic players turns the motor off when playing is complete, and the more disirable varation of thsi sub category lifts up the tone arm and shuts the motor off. Tunrntables output at "phono" level to hook up to a "phono" input. If no phono input is present a Phono-Preamplifier is required.
