pauluk, here in the US, back in the heyday of vinyl (and I hate to admit that I'm old enough to remember it well), the most popular record changers in consoles and compact stereos were BSR's and VM's (Voice of Music). Guys into higher end component equipment usually went with Garrard or Dual. Most record changers were 4 speed, although I never saw records available in the slow 16-2/3 RPM speed. Myself, I have BSR, BIC, and Yamaha turtables, as well as a good collection of classic rock albums from 1965 to around 1980.
