coventry Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Definitely not. What with modern tables' sensitivity to weight and a tone-arm's vertical tracking force. stacking albums would throw off calibrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCXII Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Mine has an even different color.... :)http://s24.postimg.org/rcbo41npx/20140816_201140.jpg Dude that's totally my album!!

I don't have anything past Power Windows on vinyl with the exception of VT remix my daughter got me for Christmas. I would really like to get HYF and Presto and probably will pretty soon... :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Looks like they did a great job on the reissue tones. That's what the original looks like. Pretty cool that they stuck sides 1 and 4 together like the original too.For the old stack and flip approach! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Yes, there is a reason believe it or not. Back in the 60s & 70s (possibly earlier), the center peg would sometimes be really long with a kind or trigger near the top. You would put your album on and pull the lever, then automatically the vinyl would drop and you could then queue up side 2 while side one played and the same with sides 3/4. Probably not the best thing to do (play one album stacked on top of another) but it's the way things used to be. Did a quick read-up on Wikipedia. It seems like it's something you wouldn't do on a manual turntable? It had to be kind with the long center peg. Otherwise there was no where for the next album to sit in wait. Edit...this is the kind you would need: http://img.youtube.com/vi/SYouB1DkCoc/0.jpg Okay, I think I got it now. So when the arm moves into the center it releases the next record on top, swings back to allow that record to fall into place and moves into position again? Or does it have two tone arms?Yeah...stack and flip, baby! I grew up with that. It's the predecessor to the five-CD changer. Great for a party set-up, when reel-to-reel wasn't available. My dad's reel to-reel could do three hours of music on slow play. Mix-tape!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix-tape!!!!!And if you didn't move the plastic lever that held the stack of records back to the side after the last record dropped, the tone arm would come up, go back to the beginning of the last record, and play it again, and again, and again. . . . . My roommate used to leave it when she was studying (or drinking!) and not really listen, it would drive me nuts!! Fortunately, she liked the Who a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yeah, that used to be such fun, when artists had albums that flowed as a unit and all of the songs were good or at least pleasant to listen to, you would listen to them over and over. "Who's Next" and Deep Purple's "Made In Japan" off the top of my head . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
