Capehart Amperion models without known model type
See this video for the Amperion playing mechanism.
Capehart's first Player was the series Orchestrope for 28 records, 56 sides continous play from 1928, introduced still as ""Capehart Automatic Phonograph Co.".
In March 1930 came a less expensive Amperion line with a simple turning changer for 10 to 16 recrods, turning, followed by models with the drop-type only "10-12" mechanism in 1931. The main success was later the changer 16-E etc. - see more details and summaries here.
