Abstract
A stationary record player is described having a turn table adapted to be rotatably driven by an electric motor. A pickup is pivotally secured to the turn table, the pickup having a stylus which moves along the recording groove of a stationary record medium when the pickup is rotated together with the turn table whereby the signal on the record medium is reproduced. The record player comprises a lift member adapted to detect the arrival of the stylus at the final position of reproduction, the lift member including a lift lever being pivoted to the turn table. One end of the lift lever is held by the pickup until the pickup reaches a final inward position whereby the one end is released allowing the remaining end of the lift lever to be pivoted upward. A play lever for operating a switch for supplying current to the electric motor is locked during play, and when the stylus reaches the final playing position, an activating arm of the locking mechanism is moved by the remaining end of the lift lever to release the lift lever stopping the electric motor.
