Fisher Lincoln mod. 70 records changer

[@thomasrose7713]

Didn’t Fisher coach works make bodies for Lincoln? Splendid Table btw 👏🏻👏🏻

[@2packs4sure]

Thanks so much for posting this,, I've been wanting to see a working Fisher 70 in action for 20 years !!

[@ilfafioccaro417]

Great! Si an incredibile machine!!! Really complicated and all ways needed to be set...

[@2packs4sure]

@@ilfafioccaro417 I bet it WAS tough to set up, I had read that they were impossible to keep working properly when new. Did someone custom make those idlers ?

[@ilfafioccaro417]

2packs4sure yes, unfortunately i can not use it very often, so every time I turn it on is always a disasters... this machine is 100% original, I had to change only few small rubber part, as the one who block the record when pick it up...

[@2packs4sure]

@@ilfafioccaro417 It's in amazing cosmetic condition and the fact that it CAN work at all,,,,,,,,, amazing... It's awesome that it exists at all !!

[@ilfafioccaro417]

2packs4sure yes , it’s almost perfect, as new... I found it in Belgium, no idea how it arrived there... it took me long time to put it on work... the only person who could do it is a an 83 year old guy that’s know about electronics and mechanics...

[@rautamiekka]

That's a dangerous design for the records themselves, and to a degree the needle.

[@mrrkdino]

What a cool player. Love that recording of Aida with Tebaldi too.

[@Super8Rescue]

Insane, Beautiful. The mechanics must be something special

[@Muswell]

Clumsy and yet so awesome & fascinating.

[@edmondedwards6729]

way cool, and it changes records as almost as fast as a person doing it manually...nice

[@GoossHuawei]

Wonderful unit!

[@robertanzalone5853]

An amazing work of art.

[@julianthefantastic7429]

This is so cool I would love to have one of these

[@CoolDudeClem]

That's a fascinating changer, I've never seen one like that before. Music selection could have been better though, opera just sounds like a lot of screeching and bellowing to me.

[@Peter-pv8xx]

It's no doubt an acquired taste.

[@skycaptain1580]

It’s probably not kind on tracking... but it’s really a beautiful technology and mesmerizing to watch. AWESOME !

[@td3993]

Why would it not be?

[@skycaptain1580]

@@td3993 Hi. From the video’s perspective the tonearm does not look to be balanced. Now I can be wrong, hence the « probably » in my sentence. I did not make a peremptory statement, just an introductory observation. (Many « orys », aren’t there ?)

[@td3993]

@@skycaptain1580 the tone arm appears to have an adjustable weight off the backside. Perhaps there is also an internal spring.

[@skycaptain1580]

@@td3993 Possibly. I have not experienced this contraption. My commentary was observational not imperial. You seem to have a better knowledge of this technology, I therefore assume you are right.

[@richardfinch1789]

Amazing, and where are the brains today??? That cannot seem to keep the technology fires burning with the timelessness of analog origins and the amazing sound of vinyl 👌 😊

[@onairtamiloli4151]

What a amazing machine👌👌

[@spacemissing]

Nice to see the later version in action, but you people who have these oddball machines need to think more about how to present them. It would be preferable to see the end of a side playing and the mechanism tripping on its own rather than from a press of the reject button.

[@GenerallyGroovy]

What a remarkably over engineered turntable! It was interesting to see the lever on the side push the arm into place. Could this be configured to play 7" singles as well?

[@ilfafioccaro417]

@@GenerallyGroovy if I remember well only 12 and 10 inch…

[@candymintz]

Wow!

[@waynebrown8366]

What year was this made? What was the original selling price? What was the original tracking weight (in grams) of the arm?

[@ilfafioccaro417]

Will check my papers and I’ll let you know…

[@ilfafioccaro417]

The production should be 1960, I’ll check the other info and came back as soon as I have them, best

[@melciveng]

Wow really interesting changer

[@henkgloudemans8886]

I love this machine !!!!!!

[@vintagecoinop]

I have one, my idler wheels are shot. Do you know who can rebuild them. Can you work on this unit for me.

[@ilfafioccaro417]

Hi, unfortunately I don’t know anybody, but I will check and if I found one I’ll let you know…

[@notmanatee2445]

What pressing is that vinyl? I can't seem to find this particular album and pressing.

[@monkeywithocd]

Really cool, but way overengineered compared to the mechanism Technology Connections showed off.

[@ritrola]

Amazing machine and musicn❤

[@AudioElectronicsChicago]

wow, amazing 🤩

[@kirkrussell6658]

I have about 8 of these in the basement, models 50, 60, and 70. Any tips on getting replacement rubber parts ? Thank you.

[@ilfafioccaro417]

The only rubber part I had to replace is the small part that hang the central hole of the record... all the others were still fine... so, I guess I can’t really help you... In any case feel free to ask if you have any questions

[@kirkrussell6658]

@@ilfafioccaro417 Yes that is the most critical part in the model 60 and 70. You seemed to have replaced your's with a silicone material. Did you have it made, or printed ?

[@ilfafioccaro417]

The part I changed is the small silicon pipe it get inside the hole of the record and while getting compressed increase his diameter in order to hang the record... if this is the part you are interested in I can ask the person who did the work to cut a part for you...

[@kirkrussell6658]

@@ilfafioccaro417 That is very kind of you. I am not sure if it is possible to post contact info on KZbin anymore. But if he or she makes one it could be listed on Ebay. I would be happy to buy several. I should explain that the original Fisher turntables made by Lincoln Engineering (Missouri), did not have this part because the records were secured by constant vacuum on the record label via a vacuum reservoir. You are so fortunate to have a beautiful example of a model 70. They are interesting machines.

[@ilfafioccaro417]

[@litoboy5]

Amazing

[@Tojazzer]

That is a very cool machine. However, did it allow for both the American and the English side labelling? I noticed that the last side played was side 1.

[@ilfafioccaro417]

It doesn’t matter if American or English as far as the labeling is smooth and not wrinkled… thus because of the vacuum system to grab the record… what can make the difference is the diameter of the hole and the thick of the record… it the diameter is too small it might have difficulty in release it, the same with records too thin… in this case it can grab two records in the same time… of course is a very old machine , and at that times standards for records were different than today….

it's Interesting, because auto changer record player that did not spread at all in Japande gozaru !! 日本では普及しなかったオートチェンジャー　面白いでござる！！

How many records can it hold? Is it able to hold 70 records? 35?

[@ilfafioccaro417]

@@AndyBHome can’t remember but less than 10…

[@AndyBHome]

@@ilfafioccaro417 thank you. 9 would still be a whole lot. The changers with the drop spindle could usually do only 3 at most, so anything over 4 would have been really convenient.

[@robfriedrich2822]

Tonearm is very short.

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Was this constructed by Thorens?

[@ilfafioccaro417]

No, it was an American product manufactured by Fisher, in collaboration with a company called Lincoln... a usa product distributed only in the American market...

[@kaimauracher6758]

WOW how to make things overcomplicated 😎

[@td3993]

No, plays both sides of record and playing surfaces never scuff. It's probably very good to records.

[@wheels2fun526]

It's cleaver. But, in reality very stupid and no point. no wonder this kind of changer never caught on. Complicated for no reason. Stacking was far better.

[@SwingingCreeper]

Way overly complicated. Must be a nightmare to service
