Re: Were all Autochangers Record Grinders?
I don't think autochangers were anything like as bad as they were painted. It was probably more perception than reality. Records did get "played to death", but even a cheaply-made single player can ruin records by mistracking, or by using the 78 rpm stylus tip
I actually have designs on fitting an autochanger with a magnetic cartridge, "just to prove I don't know the difference between can and should". (Probably a BSR UA14 changer out of a common-as-muck UY85 / UL84 "box" record player, just for least sacrilege).
