The Fisher Lincoln Automatic Turntable

I'm looking for all the help I can get with this one.

They're very rare, and any leads on other owners, parts units, manuals, etc., would be most appreciated.

I have one that is non-working (of course!), missing a few unknown parts, but is in very nice cosmetic condition.

I've pretty much googled it to death, and I think I've found most of the links that are out there.

Here's a few pics:

Well, if it worked, it would play one side of the record, pick it up with a vacuum clamp, turn it over, and play the other side.
 
Well, then you have the most interesting peice of audio gear ever. Sorry I can't help, but that is just the coolest thing ever, so, hopefully, I will someday meet up with you again and se this contraption in it's finest glory--carry on my friend!
 
I've got a few emails out, and I've got my fingers crossed!

In the last five years I think I've seen three show up on eBay, and that's it. Very hard to find. Not very many were sold. They were very expensive, and rarely worked. There are stories about them flinging records across the room if the vacuum clamp didn't seal well, or the vacuum was released at the wrong time. Supposedly the 70 was the most reliable, but by then they were pretty much an embarrassment to Fisher, who just quietly pretended they never existed.

And here I can watch the levers and bits on my Dual 1009 move around for hours. This would keep me entertained for years. (and buissie fixing it it sounds like.) Cant help, but good luck. If I were near you I would offer to take a look at it because I am very good with mechanical stuff and could probably figure it out.
 
Wow, that's nuts. I was wondering the other day if anyone ever tried to make a player that flipped the record. I guess this answers my question!
 
I didn't know that Rube Goldberg made a record changer!?! Very cool looking piece and I hope that you can get the parts and make it function once again. :thmbsp:
 
This has got to be THE most bizarre piece of equipment I've seen this year. :banana: I wish there was a video of a functioning one somewhere! So how did you get it?:D

EDIT: It appears there IS a video! :banana:

That thing is insane. Must have cost a fortune. Do they even sound good?

That piques my question: Do these units have their own preamp, or do they rely on an external phono stage? Do they connect with your garden-variety RCA jacks or use a proprietary connector? :scratch2:
 
I just watched that video. Did my eyes play tricks on me, or did that device actually just DROP the record at 0:03?! I wonder how many records that thing smashed in operation. :tears:
