VTA was not on anyone's radar screen in the 1970s, I doubt the term had even been invented until later. The change in tracking force is really not great as records stack up and usually could be compensated for by setting up for the maximum recommended force, which is still a good idea. The raised lip and label area only work if all the records are perfectly flat, otherwise the grooves can touch. In spite of all of these shortcomings, changers were popular and at least the better ones, even if less than optimal, caused no permanent harm. And some are still held in high regard. There is no reason to discourage people who want to stack their records on a changer. You don't do it, I don't do it, that is OK too. To each his or her own.
