  I thought Columbia didn't release the first 7 inch 45s until 1951, yet you say this changer dates from 1950. I'm just mentioning this out of curiosity, in hopes that you or someone else might be share some further info about this wonderful TT. Thanks!

    RCA brought the 45 rpm record and players to the market in 1949. This particular model was only offered during the 1950 product run when RCA had three different changers in the line up. Outsourced (even back then) to the Oak Company for manufacture, the J-3 is very well made with a ball bearing spindle for really smooth and quiet operation. The changer will accomodate 12 to 13 records at a time and really sounds great... idler drive and low rumble to boot!

    • Thanks for the background. It really has inspired me to explore this period in more detail. .nt - wingding 08:03:34 08/18/06 (0)
