Magnavox console Stereo
Electrically amplified phonographs or radio/phonographs and related components (approx. 1928-1990).
Good idea if you are not well versed in changer repair. No point in destroying the thing.
Vinyl is disease which attacks that area of the brain desiring digital recordings. Once you catch it, you are cured.

That might not be a BSR.
It might be a Collaro PH1250. It looks like a BSR, and even has the speed and off-on-reject controls in the same place, but it has the same mechanism as the Collaro/Magnavox changers made after 1968. It has the 3-size tonearm scan. And the overarm can be removed for single play by squeezing a clamp in the back of the overarm shaft.
I have worked on several of these changers. i also have an owner's manual.
How to tell which it is:
If the changer has a control with settings for record size (7-10-12 or 17-25-30) it is a BSR. The Collaro has the record size scan.
