[78-L] The 1941 RCA player: it plays both sides Magic Brain

[Malcolm Smith]

Someone else probably remembers who made it but when I was growing  
up, ww2 era, my parents had a fancy record player with an early  
concept of a changer for 78s. One stacked them and a mechanism came  
out and picked them up and moved them to a bin. I think I'm  
remembering this correctly. What I do clearly remember is that  
occasionally one would hear very odd noises as the mechanism failed.  
One would leap to one's feet and rush to the player to try to save  
the record being removed. I don't remember ever getting there in time  
to prevent the mechanism breaking one of a set of records. Nothing  
like incomplete sets in those days.
