Default A pictorial guide to servicing the Collaro Studio autochanger

The Collaro Studio was the next generation of record player autochangers from Collaro after the Conquest.

There are several differences and improvements over the Collaro Conquest, the pictorial guide to servicing of which can be found here

The differences are:

Improved tone arm with adjustable tracking force (on some pick up arms)

Improved speed selector

Motor mounted on rubber mounts to stop vibration

Quieter change cycle mechanism

User adjustable set down position

User adjustable pick up arm height.



The example I'm working on is a Magnavox Imperial. Magnavox bought out Collaro and the brand all but disappeared from the UK.
