!±8± Glaser Steers GS-77 Turntable Demo

Demonstration of the Glaser-Steers GS-77 record changer (made in 1961.) This changer is unique - it allows the platter to stop rotating while changing records. It uses two drive wheels, one for operating the changer mechanism and one for turning the platter. It also had the "Speed Minder" feature, which would automatically change the speed depending on the position of the stylus and (on LP) whether it sensed a 7" or 12" disc. This changer took a lot of work to get operating again. It still needs a good cleaning. It resides in a late 1961 Capehart console stereo with single-ended 6BQ5 outputs. Some have asked about Capehart - here's a short history form my own research: The Capehart Automatic Phonograph Co. of Ft. Wayne, Ind. was acquired by Farnsworth in 1939. In 1949 - IT&T bought Farnsworth-Capehart. In May 1956, ITT sells its Capehart Farnsworth Division to the Ben Gross Corporation, who changes their name to the Capehart Corporation soon after. In 1979 they file for bankruptcy, and in early 1980 Wakefield Industries buys Capehart Corp. Two months later Wakefield lays off 75% of its workforce and hung on for several months. Any product you see branded "Capehart" after 1981 or so was manufactured overseas for one of the large buying groups. I know that around 2000 NATM was using the name.
