GENERAL
All mo dels of this series Magna:vox Record Players
I
are basically the same. Differences lie only in external
appearance items and, in · some cases, the type of
drive motor .
'Some versions in this series in corpora te extended
type co ntrol knobs while ot her s use a s ho rt type knob
assembly. The deluxe players covered in this manual
utilize an 11" turntable dis c.
The chart on Pages 16 & 17 shows the major differen ces
in these various models. 0 the r minor difference s
are identified in the exploded view diagram s and re-
pl acement parts lists.
All models are four-speed designed for ope rati on at
16 2/ 3, 33 1/ 3, 45 and 78 RPM.
CHANGE CYCLE
The changer utilizes a "Velocity Trip" mechanism and
the c han ge cyc le initiates by th e fast inward motion of
the pick -up arm when the s tylus e nters the lead-out
gr oove at the end of the record.
As the tone arm tracks on the record, the Pick-up
Positioning Finger "A " in Fi gure 3, whi ch moves in
uni so n with the tone arm, p ushe s against the Str iker
Feed Lever (111). The Striker Arm (121) is fed inward
toward the turntab le hub by the friction of its own
weight resting on th e curve d end of the Striker Feed
Lever (111).
ISSUED: DECEMBER, 1966
As the r ecord is playin g, the St riker Arm (12 1) moves
slowly toward the hub of the turntable, but th e velocity
of the Tone Arm is n ot sufficient to trip the mec hanism;
since the wipin g a c ti on of the hub projection moves the
Striker Arm (121) back with each revolution of th e turn-
table.
Howe ver, when the stylus enters the lead-out groove
at the end of the record, the vel ocity of the Striker
Feed L ever (111) is suf fi cient to c au se the Striker Arm
(121) to move in ahead of the turntab le h ub projection .
The Striker Arm (121) is then "struck" by the hub pro-
jection and pushed far enough to ca u se the Drive
Release Lev er (131) to pivot and release the Locking
Pin fr om the tab on the bottom of the Main Cam
Gea r Assembly (109). The ass e mbly is then unl ocked
from the out -of-c ycle or" Pla y" posi ti on, permitting
the. Drive Wheel (17) and its a ssocia t ed gea r train to
be pulled into co nt act with the mot or pulley which drive s
the Main Cam Gear Assembl y thr ough the cha nge
cycle.
The Main Cam Gear Assembly makes one complete
revolution in a clockwise dire c ti on durin g the change
cycle .
As the Main Cam Gear (109) rotat e s, the Cam Gear
Locating Roller "B" rides on variou s el evations on
the Cam Gear (109), causin g th e Tone Arm Lift Lever
(118) to pivot and rai se the Pi ck -u p Lift Spindle (103).
This action raises the Tone Arm and deter mines its
vertical travel.

At the sa1n ·e time the Tone Arm Lift Lever (118) pivots,
the Muting sw· itch Lever {141) is released and the Muting
Switch (142) contacts close shunting the p1ek-up
ca . rtri dge.
In addition, as the Main Cam Gear Assen1bly (109) starts
to rotate, the Cam Following Pm "C" in Figure 4 is
forced to the outside groove of the Cam. This action
forces the Tone Arm out to the point of . maximum
lateral traveL
With Cam still rotating, the Following Pin ''C
1
' is moved
inward through the Test Track where width is deter-
mined and held constant by Lever ' '.D" on the Cam.. As
the Main Cam Gear rotates, this lever is set by the
wiping action against the eccentric cam which is the
·Tone Arm set-down adjustment.. During the time the
Following Pin "C"' moves through the test track, the
Tone A. rm is carried inwa . rdly; but "fee ls ' the edge of
the first r· ecord on the sp1ndle and can move no further.
Howev· er, the Following Pin "C ' proceeds on through
the test track causing the friction clutch between the
pick-up arm and following pin. to sli.p.
The · following pin then mov. es out of the test track and
is forced toward the outside edge of the cam, once
again carrying · the pick-up arm outward towards the
tone arm. r · est post. At a point detert nine d by the size
of the record ·'felt

' by the tone arrn, the Following
Pin uc ·n will be forced out of the sloped groove up
ramp ''E' ·, across the smooth surface and proceed
to move down the positioning groove. This aetion
carries the Tone Arm inward to the point wher ·e it is
lowered and the stylus contacts the record l· ead-in
groove.
As the Main Cam · Gear continues to rotate the push-
off roller on the bottom of the Cam eontaets the Reco 1 d
Dropping Slide Assembly (134), forcing it outward away
from the Ca.m., This action cause .s the Record Droppin.g
Pawl to move laterally, resulting in the bott om record
being pushed-off the spindle shelf to drop on the turn-
table.
. As the Main Cam gear moves into the final portion of
rotation, the tab located on the underside of the Main
Cam, engages the locking pin on the Drive Release
L· ever (131) and withdraws the Drive Wheel (17) from
the Motor Pulley. The Roller 'F ·, on top of the Main
Cam, . then rides into the notch on the Cam Stop Lever
Assembly (50) located on the underside of the base
plate. The Cam Stop . Lever Assembly (50) exerts
pressure to hold the Main Cam Gear and
Gear Assembly {128) in the out-of-cycle posit1on.

Automatic Shut-Off
The shut-off of the changer after the last record has
been played is as follows:
The Main Cam Gear (109) begins to 1otate and the
Following Pin'' C
1
' moves down. the Test Track , carrying
the tone arm in toward the center of the turntabl ·e.
Since the arm does not contact a record, the Following
Pin · 'C'' will now leave the test track, move through
the sloped groove to the outside groove in the Ca .m .
thus swinging the tone ar1n out to its rest position.
At a point during the rotation of the Main Cam Gear
the Following Pin will lock the Shut-Off Lever on the
Ca.m so the Shut-Off Lever Tab will be in its outer
position (see Figure 4).
Just prior to the tin 1e the following pin locks the shut-
off lever· Roller (F) on top of the Can1 Gear contae s
the Stop Lever Ass e1nbly (50), causing the lever
to pivot. The shut-off tab on the Main Cam Gear no\v
makes contaet w" th the Automatic Shut-Off Lever (48)
which pivots away from the holding notch in the changer
base plate. This pivoting action c auses the opposite
end of the Automatie Shut-Off Lever (48) to drive for-
ward against the slope ·d end of the Control Bar Asse1nbly
which protrudes up through the base plate.

Tone Arm Set-Down
All changers in this series provide automatic posi-
tioning for the various sizes of records by ''sampling'
the outside of the botto1n record resting on the
spindle The stylus then eontacts the record,
after it has fallen to the· turntable, approximately
1/ 16" from the outer edge, or on a diameter 1/ Bn
smaller than the original sampling made by the tone
arm.
This adjustment has been accurately set at the factory
however, should adjustn1ent be required in the field
a screwdriver adjustment 'G (Figure 5) i.s provided
in the base plate just forward of the tone arn1 pivot.
This adjustment consists of an eccentric cam which
contacts Lever .. ,D 'on the Main Cam Gear (See Figure
4).
Rotating this eccentric cam. moves Lev· er
1
D · in a
lateral direction and causes the Test Track on the
Main Cam Gear to becom.e wider or narrower.
The tone arm will s e t down f u r t h e r inward when
the test track is n1ade wider, and will set down on
. . . .
a larger diameter when the test track is made
narrower.
Since only one half turn of the Adjustment Screw "G''
the entire range of the Set Down Adjustment,
it is suggested that the screw be rotated only a slight
an1ount at .any one time.
It 1s usually necessary to repeat this adjustment several
times checking the set down position of the tone arm
afte .r each adjustment.
Pickup Muting
The pickup cartridge is . muted during ehange cycle so
that any slight mechanical vibrations of the mechanism
will not be picked up by the cartridge and, therefor ·e,
cannot reach the amplifier input circuits.
The m. uting switch is actuated by Lever (141) which
forces the switch contacts to make, shunting the pick-
up cartridge, as soon as the Main Ca1n (109)
begins to rotate.
To check that the Muting Switch is breaking properly
proce · ed as follows: ·
1. Place any size record on the record spindle.. Turn
the c hang e r on and allow it to proceed to the
playing position. Turn chang· er off in this posi-
tion.

2. Check the gap between the :rnuting switch contacts
to be certain that a strip of newspaper or a metal
l feeler" gauge. 003' thick can be inserted between
tben1 (this is rniniinutn. gap}.
3. If there is no gap, or if the gap 'is insufficient,
the tag end of the Switch Operating Lever (141)
may be slightly bent away from the sub-plate
assembly.
Pickup Tracking Adjustments
Improper pickup tracking may be caused by any one of
the following:
1. Insufficient slack in pickup leads.
Check to be sure that the pickup leads are free
and that sufficient slack is maintained
the rear of tone arm and baseplate.
2. Cam Following Pin 'C ., touching bottom of cam
groove.
Check to see if the Cam Following Pin 'C" is
rubbing bottom of cam groove when in the ''playing
recess"'. This pin i.s properly positioned when it
touches halfway up ramp Figure 4}.
This adjustment is made by rotating screw "I"
(Figure 7).
3. Striker Feed Lever (Ill) resting on sub-plate.
Check to see that the Striker Feed Lever (Figure
3,) is perfectly free on its pivot ' J' and is con-
tacting the sub-plate at its forward end (under the
Striker Arn1). At the time the Striker Feed
Lever clear of the sub ·- plate at the rear
end by approximately 1/ 1, 6''. If this clearance is
insuffi . cient, it may be increased by inserting a
screwdriver between the Striker Feed Lever (111)
and sub-plate and exerting a slight upward pres-
sure.
4. Chipped or damaged stylus.
If it is suspected the pickup stylus is worn or
damaged replacement is to be made with an exact
stylus of the original type {see Pick-
up and stylii information on Page I 1).
Insufficient stylus pressure ..
See , Stylus Pressure Adjustment'.
Tone Arm H· eight
The Tone Arm Height Adjustment Screw 'K" (Figure
5) is used to set the height to which the tone arn1.
raises during the change cycle. During the
cycle the tone arm is lifted up and moved out over the
rest post. During this time the clearance between the
top o f the t on e arm and the underside of the next
record on the shelf should be approxilnately 1/ 4''. To
obtain this setting, rotate screw' K'r elockwise to lower
the tone arm or counter-clockwise to raise it.
Record Dropping Adjustment
the Main Cam Gear (I OB) by hand until the Record
Pawl travels to its maximun1 position be-
tween the spindle shelf. At this point the Pawl should
protrude just slightly beyond the spindle shelf.
If the Pawl does not protrude beyond the spindle shelf
loosen the two screws (137) and n1ove the Pawl Adjust-
ment Plate (1 ,35) until the Pawl does protrude beyond
the shelf. NOT' E: The Pawl Adjustment Plate (135)
slides horizontal to,, and directly across the Reeord

Stylus Pressure . Adjustment
Use a suitable gram scale and following the lnanu-
facturers instructions c he c k t h e stylus pressure.
Stylus pressure is set by rotating screw ''L -
1
in Figure
5. Stylus pressure is to be set for 3 grams plus or
minus 1/ 2 gram.
Idler Wheel Adjustment
The Idler Wheel {22) should be adjusted so that it
contacts the motor pulley in the center of the proper
making eertain the lower face of the Idler Wheel
does not rub on the flange of the next lower step of the
motor pulley.
A.n adjustment located on the baseplate next to
the Idler Wheel (see Figure l) is provided to adjust
the vertical positioning of the Idler Wheel. This screw
should be turned clockwise to raise the Idler Wheel
counter-clockwise to lower it.
IMPO , RTANT NOTE: When making this adjustn1ent
always be sure the changer is supported from the
baseplate and that the motor is completely suspended ..
