Look What I Saw at the Green Center

The Green Center is a time capsule of outdated technologies.  I was reminded of this when a Garrard record changer was donated. These were manufactured in England and were mechanical marvels. A stack of records were placed on the center spindle and were sequentially dropped on the turntable after the tone arm was moved away. These were very popular and parts are still available via Amazon.
