Yes, those are my feelings too but if I did eventually try to sell it the original changer would be preferred by most folks. They are vinyl destroyers for sure.

With the proper cartridge and tracking weight they are no worse than in a newer table that is not correctly setup which tends to be most. Look for a conical stylus to prevent wear or excessive groove distortion.

Yeah, keep the unit as original as possible. You may want to add another discrete auxillary input, to run external CD player, IPhone, or TT. I'd make this input looks original or hidden.Ppl want these things as OEM as possible. Believe me, I know that from years of redoing vintage guitar amps. Some ppl even want the original filter caps back in the amps. Not for use, but for display purposes. I don't understand collector's mentality, but these folks often have the most $$$ for units & instruments.
Good luck with your refurb!

The unit has an aux for a digital device like a CDP etc. It's phono stage has four EQ positions: LP/RIAA/FFRR/78 pretty cool.

That Collaro changer can also easily have a magnetic cartridge mounted and track at 3-4 grams and isn't too bad on records. Remember that, much better than installing another changer, keep this one intact. A preamp is no big deal to buy so you can use one.
I have a Stanton somewhere that will go 2-5 grams. Then I need to do a tonearm rewire too, not a big deal. I'd spend maybe 30-40 on a mag phono pre and Y it to mono. The Magnavox does have a four position phono EQ: RIAA/LP/FFRR/78.
