Ah, thats nice to hear. I did hope it was, just the few pictures I saw of 582s showed a different one, but timeline wise this makes sense, I believe its an EMI K3 autochanger? possibly the first kind of autochanger? I noticed the badge missing on the arm, and searched online for pictures only to find most examples also missing the badge. Hopefully I can get one somewhere or a good enough image to produce a copy

I imagine an enthusiast of sorts owned it before, as a bag of "bits" was included, some of the knobs from the changer were taken off, I expect they started work but never finished it.

I haven't removed the chassis to look underneath yet and see how "got at" it is. On the surface all valves etc are present.
