Thorens TD-224 Record Changer - Changing 45 RPM Records

Thorens TD-224 changing 45's with authentic mechanical sounds. This changer is close to 60 years old, as such some of the squeaks are not "authentic" as originally designed.
Includes approx. 45 second natural decay of rotation after shut-off.

Wow, the mechanical engineering that went into that changer is simply amazing! Thanks for posting!

[@apdorafa-rafaelalmeida7159]

Wow!! Just fascinating. I'd never seen a record player like this.

[@navyspook79]

Fascinating player. Seems like they made it a little more complex than it needs to be but, it is fun to watch.

[@independentpuppy7520]

That's cool. Never seen a changer like that before. I have record changers but the usual stackers ones.

[@maxramali1443]

Fascinating system.

[@ramblerandy2397]

Beautiful turntable from a great manufacturer. I love the mechanisms required for such a neat auto-changer. Even down to the simple velvet record brush for the various record sizes.

[@ashleylewis5660]

I like this I wish I had one of those turntables!

[@anandmalhotra5963]

great precision and quality of yesteryears.

[@AutomatikSystematik]

Amazing machine & great tunes too!

[@neilmansfield8329]

What a great record player and music

[@jhonwask]

That's the weirdest changer I've ever seen.

[@drpcsarkar1545]

Then see this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmizaKuvnKmWqZI

[@linus-clocksnmusic]

This is equally weird to the Perpetuum Ebner (PE) PW10 spiral changer

[@GenerallyGroovy]

Fantastically convoluted system!

[@AUDIOVISUALLY]

Absolutely Stunning Love It

[@usmale4915]

What a fascinating machine. And the 45's all seem to be from the BeeGee's and Yvonne E. You should have let them play all the way through (lol)! Thank you for sharing this video. Great record changer!

[@Solitaire001]

I think the reason for cutting the records show as to avoid copyright issues. On the websites I've seen you are only allowed to play a few seconds of a song to avoid a copyright issue (please correct me if I'm wrong).

[@Rlotpir1972]

I hope a manufacture can make this changer for this era.

[@GramophonicReevolution]

Wonderful beautiful and fascinating thanks for sharing

[@bartsimpson7654]

das ist fantastisch!

[@joacos-acosta1623]

Gorgeous condition turntable. And the mechanics.. Well a little more lubricant maybe...

Magnificent

[@Muswell]

I've never seen an auto-change record player that does that - as opposed to stacking them.

[@brucetaylor7095]

What cool thing! Beautiful!

[@thalavi4665]

Thank you for this tacnology my elder brother really like this

[@Jammerk40]

Thorens always knew how to make great turntables! They are very beaffy and last a long time!

[@johnosborne6857]

I've had one since new. A beautiful machine, no doubt. Mine has the original turntable mat; the one above looks like a replacenent. The only weak spot on mine is not always sensing when no record is brought in (which triggers the shutoff cycle).

[@PatrickOBrien808]

So does the arm set down on the platter instead of shutting off? I still have the original mat too. For some reason the machine would occasionally have trouble picking up 7" 45's from the platter. The thinner DJ slip mat seemed to solve the problem.

[@jamtronik]

Great!!

The original Spotify playlist.

[@Peter-pv8xx]

I like the crying baby sound effect. What's wrong with a good old record changer where you stack the records, i guess this supposed to be a high end unit.

[@PatrickOBrien808]

There is nothing wrong with a good old record changer where you stack the records. I own several. Yes, this was/is a high end unit.

[@АлексейАлексеев-ь9б6ж]

it's easy to see when the power goes off --- watch the strobe light.

[@tobymummert3035]

Really cool!...............BUT the only problem is it will only play "Saturday Night Fever" records!........

[@rexoliver7780]

Nice auto TT. Sounds like it needs lubrication. Does this only play 45’s?

[@PatrickOBrien808]

Thanks. It plays all 4 speeds, and all size records up to 12".

[@rexoliver7780]

@@PatrickOBrien808 After I wrote the comment-I looked closer at the picture of the TT and noticed the speed selector! I have seen many manual Thorens TT'ssome in small radio stations.First time I have seen an auto multiply one like yours.

[@ArnauldChevallier]

@@rexoliver7780 Also, notice that the arm is deliberately hitting the record edge before it's put on the platter to figure out its size -- or the absence of it.

[@rexoliver7780]

@@ArnauldChevallier magnavox/collaros tt’s also tapped the record edges with arm head shell to sense record size.

[@curewindy3]

おいおい 最後まで聴かせてくれよ。

[@neilforbes416]

Curious mechanics. A bit too over-elaborate though. More that can go wrong with this type of turntable.

[@Solitaire001]

Watching, one concern I saw was that it looked like the tone arm was going to drop on the empty turntable after the last record finished playing.

[@MadScientist267]

When playing an LP is just too complicated... 🤣
