The changers in these are fun. I have little interest in drop changers from 1938 on. I have collected and repaired early ones like the Philco's changer. Most were made by GI but they originally were made by Packard and affiliated with Homer Capehart who owned Packard manufacturing. I have one of these changers in a 1936 Liberty Music Shops portable which has a magazine that folds out to catch the records. I use it alot and it has never broken or chipped any records. The only "critical" part is the dashpot that lowers the arm slowly. When it doesn't work proper, the arm will drop fast and can ruin the pickup and/or record. Using Neetsfoot oil on the dashpot restores the operation.

I know another 509X out in the Oakland area. I have photos here of it.
