Mystery Music models 2 and 2 1/2 are a record changing mechanism, with pick-up and amplifier, supplied in a compact cabinet to be installed out of sight. The mechanism accomodates 10 to 14 records (20 to 28 selections), operating continuously and automatically. Model 2 has a two stage amplifier, model 2 1/2 a three stage amplifier. A multiple wall box interface was also available as model 7 with 10 to 12 record changer (for $ 330). Needed are at least one loudspeaker.
