I am looking for a picture of a Linden cabinet with original record changer.

See the Garrard changer for the contemporary 1937-8 pointer dial Philharmonic on the eBay just listed:

thus:  eBay item number:20611419768

In seeking such a vintage Gerrard. Be sure you get the detail on the Gerrard name plate. Rider's Automatic changes book indicates  that the RC4 RC6 & RC8 Gerrard series differ in the motor: DC motor or 25 or 60 cycle AC motor. but not sure which is which.

These do not handle mixed 10 and 12 inch records. The later RC-30 does handle mixed 10 and 12 inch records.

The pickup in the eBay Gothic Grande's photo is wide, so is the magnetic pickup.

I only play the 10" so no worries there.  Still thinking this is the needle in the

haystack though.  I've been through Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, and Ebay searching under

Magnavox, Lafayette, and Garrard.  Eventually...

Yep, be rare now. Most probably trashed as obsolete and/or no longer functional ... and replaced with newer 3 speed phonos long ago.  just keep checking and be patient.

Meanwhile, maybe consider a newer vintage one. Older 3 speed changers like Gerrard and Websters are more common and many have a magnetic or GE variable reluctance mono pickups.

After almost 40 years collecting Scott, original phonos are exceedingly rare. And when you do find them - the pot metal will be bad, the rubber idlers rotted and dry...I don't want to be discouraging but these units are few and far between. I have found a few over the years, and not one has been restored (too many issues to get them working).
