The Schaub Lorenz 5001 Music Centres were ahead of their time, expensive and a failure. Fifty years on, surviving examples often hold a unique piece of the past. (CLICK - “SHOW MORE”)... Invaluable resources: http://www.ilove-schaub-lorenz-music-centers.com/ https://www.hifi-archiv.info/ https://www.americanradiohistory.com/ Thanks to: Edward Norton (not that one) - I believe he was the first person to put me onto the Schaub Lorenz 5001 - He mentioned it in the comments to a few of my videos back in 2016. I then searched for a working one for a year and bought the machine you see in this video in November 2017. Edward's youtube channel can be found at null PINNED UPDATED INFO & PRE-EMPTIVE QUESTION RESPONSES •If you want to learn more about these unique machines visit http://www.ilove-schaub-lorenz-music-centers.com/ - On here, amongst other things you’ll find information about the 29.7 hour stereo version of the recorder that was made by Schaub Lorenz but wasn’t used in their own cabinets, instead it was sold to GE in the US. •During playback this machine should automatically advance onto the next track after rewinding and continue playing. Because of this feature a number of these were used as background music players in hotels etc. •The track length of 22 minutes is more suited for recording one side of an LP per track. As long as your LPs were of a suitable length it would hold 63. The lack of fast forward makes more sense here as playing a track is just like playing one whole side of a record from the beginning to the end. •Repairs - I won’t be attempting any repairs on the lighting circuit until I get the audio recorded from the machine. I don’t want to risk damaging anything before all the recordings have been archived. •The speaker output isn’t designed to be plugged into a recorder - the impedance is different from a standard RCA connection - hence the ‘thinner’ than optimal sound - since making the video I've added a "High to Low level converter" between the speaker output and the PCM recorder line-in and these new recordings sound much better. --------------SUBSCRIBE----------------- null. ------------Merchandise---------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------SUPPORT-------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan ******Patrons usually have early access to videos****** ---------Outro Music---------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSSswVZSgJw -----Outro Sound Effect----- ThatSFXGuy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M3-ZV5-QDM
