Are the tone arms on the turntables automatic?
All Crosley & Philco turntables are equipped with a semi-automatic tone arm. There is an on/off switch that must be activated. After placing the record on the turntable the tone arm is moved to the right manually in order to activate the switch and start the turntable motor. When the record is finished, the turntable will stop turning automatically, however, the tone arm must be returned to its resting position by hand. A simple to follow set of instructions is included with each product. The Nostalgia series of turntables is completely manual and you have to shut them off after each play and reset the tone arm manually.
