That record drop at the end, amazing! Even if you wanted to time that it would be extremely difficult and I like you genuine reaction after the credits about it.

One thing also about records — simply playing them a lot did more damage than anything the changer could do. The saying “I loved that record so much I wore it out,” was very much real, and it wasn’t a big deal to go to the record store and buy another one. A “fresh copy” of a favorite record was a nice treat.

"The first record charger to really find a groove" I see what you did there ;D
@nnnomenclature
Can I just say I'm hard of hearing and the subtitles on your videos are always excellent (accurate, well timed) and I love the extra little jokes and things you put in during audio based sections. It gives your videos so much character and really gives the sense that you think about the experience of all your viewers. So thanks!
@whatthereq
"I have heard both that they were cheap knockoffs and that they were better than your average BSR" Sounds like audiophiles arguing alright
@lohphat
Note that many LPs are thicker in the center label area AND at the edge. This reduced the probability for the grove areas to touch while stacked.
@themilkmon
Wow, that "drop" sync in the patreon part was on point.

The reason for the sequentially numbered records was not only for playing on a drop style record changer but also for the convenience of playing an entire album set on the radio. Back in the late 1960's, FM stereo radio became more common. Into the 1970's it was common for a radio station to play an entire album through. With single disc albums, to make a seamless transition from side one to side 2, you had to have 2 copies of the album. Most radio stations had 2 to 3 turntables and could have the next albums cued up in sequence. Well into the 1970's and even 1980's, most syndicated radio shows were on LP's, like the "Dr. Demento Show" and "American Top 40". The LP's were numbered so that side 1 would be on one LP and side 2 would be on the next LP, etc. These LP's were banded, so at the end of a section, the program would stop so you had time to insert your own commercial, station I.D., etc. While the inserted item played, you would cue up the next section in sequence. With the latest multi-disc albums, this convenience feature has been long forgotten. To pull off continuous seamless sequential play, now we record the albums digitally and play everything in sequence. You can also insert announcements at any point.

The hints of salt and sarcasm are what make your videos amazing. Also ridiculously well made, keep it up!
@nicholasragusano2284
One thing you forgot to mention: many of the "Album" LP Stereo recordings had a safety feature. The edge and label areas were sightly raised so that the grooves did not actually come in contact with each other. While that left the records with only a small area of contact to rotate them, it seemed to work out fine. Because the arm and needle weight were set so light, there was very little drag and thus, the top record rotated just fine.

The Sony shirt, the song about Laserdisc, a toaster reference... this channel truly has it all!

"The Fu-" cut LMAO! Totally took me off guard, thank you.

"did they just suck at numbers in the 60s?" label says 1974 took me multiple replays to get that

"I don't know, Winnifred, this seems pretty complicated" Some of your lines make me laugh way more than they should
@TechnologyConnections
Couple of extra notes! A younger version of me went a little overboard with a silver Sharpie. The record stabilizer would ordinarily be black. But silver's better. Duh. One thing I didn't mention was that it wasn't unheard of for changers to drop the next disc when... it wasn't a good time, plopping a disc on top of the tone arm. I don't know how common this really was, though. With the really thin records that started getting made in the '70s, I suppose they were more prone to dropping two-at-a-time or perhaps letting one slip. And maybe that helped drive them out, too. But this turntable's never done that to me, for what it's worth. The 7 inch setting would be used mainly for 45s, and to stack them, you'd either need to put a spider in each of them to give them a normal-sized spindle hole, or you'd use an adapter that would slide over the spindle and make a much bigger but functionally identical spindle. Sadly I don't have the adapter for this player, so I couldn't demonstrate it. And lastly, at one point Crosley (the modern, crappy one) was selling a "stack-o-matic" portable record player with a very cheap and very plastic changer inside of it. Those are probably without a doubt the worst changers available, so don't go making impressions about the others based upon its caliber. The Glenburn in this video is actually quite nice, and I'd consider using it daily were it not for the fact that it's really ugly, and plays slightly too fast.
@timgheys
The drop was awesome. Should have seen it coming. Great timing.
