jamitch50 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have a HMV turntable which has a Garrard Record Changer (reverse unimech). It's a 6300 model 70. The available manuals (VinylEngine etc) do not describe how this record changer works. Put very simply it differs from the unimech in that the unimech has an overarm which stabilises the record stack. The reverse unimech, by virtue of its different operation does not need an overarm and has a side platform support, off which the records are pulled before being dropped. This all works OK for 33" LPs but I can't see how it is supposed to work for 10" and 7" records. Does anyone have one of these models and know how the record changer works for "10 and 7" discs?

VanArn Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Perhaps this site http://midimajic.sgc-hosting.com/changerx.htm may provide an answer as it deals with the history of the record changer and the various operating principles.

jamitch50 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks VA. I think that answered my question (great site). Basically the record changer model I have only deals with 12" 33rpm LPs. Anyting else has to be manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
