I did have the BSR "Prince" changer pictured and described above in one of the two Regentone "99" models I have. A truly stupid and annoying design, put right of course by the UA6. To repeat the last record in a stack indefinitely is just plain silly, wonder indeed what they were thinking of. It got replaced by a Collaro Conquest deck, never originally specified for that model but a worthy successor to the BSR.

There were versions of the UA6 with plastic and metal arms, and the Pye Black Box had a special badge on the arms of the version of the deck used in it.
