Re: BSR record player deck identification.
Earlier in this interesting thread was a schedule of dates for the earlier BSR Autochangers. As it was not quite accuarate, here is my "best fit" attempt for the period 1953 to 1967:
UA5 1953/1954
UA6 1955
UA6 Mk2 Late 55/early 56 (this had the overarm and tone arm of the UA8)
UA8 Mid 1956-1959 (ran concurrently with UA12 during early 1959)
UA10 1958-1959 (short production run)
UA12 mid 1958/end 1959
UA14 1960/mid 1963
UA15 Mid 1963/65
UA16 Late 1963/1965
UA25 Mid 1964/1966 - maybe to early 1967 (later versions had lighter pressed steel turntable)
NB Upto and including the UA10, there was no automatic retraction of the idler wheel.
If there are BSR watchers more nerdy than me out there, feel free to ammend or update! Edward
