  • 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. Model 2 can carry two speakers and model 2 1/2 up to five loudspeakers. At the same time different speakers were introduced, like a model for corner placement, a console speaker, one for a flat wall and one without cabinet for concealed installations. According to Robert W. Baumbach, these cheaper Amperion instruments were introduced in March 1930.
