Re: Stylus for PYE Play Boy record player.
We specified the (very limited) deck colour options that would best suit the overall colour scheme used for the record player coverings, which was usually ICI Rexine and ICI Vynair. The BSRs UA14, 15 and 16 only came with two colour options each.

Re: Stylus for PYE Play Boy record player.
Wow - it certainly does! And in those days I really think people did read them as part of the pleasure of ownership. Now it's all just plug and play and walk away....

Re: Stylus for PYE Play Boy record player.
this is the only colour scheme for a UA15 I've seen in Australia, and this model is from 1968, so it was used for a fair few years after its introduction

Re: Stylus for PYE Play Boy record player.
Hi again, Well I put in the ST10 stylus into the Play Boy. I plugged it in with the lamp limiter and put on the record. I turned it to play,so it dropped the L.P. on to the deck and started to play perfectly. My daughter came in and asked me could we go back to the start as she liked the song. She pressed the reject button and the play arm went back to its position and the record stopped.when we set up the record to play again the turntable started turning but the record would not drop.The only way it will work is by letting the record drop manually and bringing the play arm in to start playing. this may not have been used for quite a number of years. Any advice would be very much appreciated Dick.

Re: Stylus for PYE Play Boy record player.
I can't see any situation arising to sort out the basic autochanging/reject functions where the tone arm needs to be removed?

Re: Stylus for PYE Play Boy record player.
It's the auto-off when the last record has played that's the big problem on the remaining UA14 and UA15 (in fairness all 60+ years old). And the problem is stickiness of the moving plates under (from bottom) the tonearm pivot, so tonearm has to come off to clean it. See photo of one i actually did earlier today! the alloy casting shown needs to be very clean and unlubricated
