No, it was Philco that did that, and it was in 1948. The 78 arm was
usable for the changer mechanism, but the LP arm was single-play
only. Rather a stupid idea, but they were in a hurry to get them
out! Philco had single-arm 2 speed changers by the end of 1948, just
in time to have to re-design them into 3-speed changers. I have all
the catalog sheets and repair manuals for this whole series, and have
a couple of unmounted examples.
