Default Re: BSR Record Player Decks

Must be 20 years ago I was at the BSR factory, Astec then, buying some of the old equipment.

It was a huge site, apparently BSR made autochangers for the whole world. I can remember people like Tandy and the Japanese using the decks in their hifi.

One item in with the test equipment was the bits in the photo. Took me ages to realise these were the record holding spindle on the autochangers. Are these the umbrella type? I have never seen this style of holder on any deck I have ever seen.

I dispute the description of tat made by BSR. One item I tried to buy was a Ferranti co-ordiate measuring machine, for measuring stamped bits of metal, they were serious. I didn't buy the CMM, only paying scrap prices but probably where it ended up.

If anyone wants these bits you are welcome to them, is there a BSR museum?
