There are two types of automatic record players. One automatically puts the tone arm onto the edge of the record and begins playing then shuts off the player and picks up the tone arm after the side is finished playing. The other simply shuts off the player after the side has been played. I have a 1921 Sonora Marlborough console player that has the latter.
There are also automatic record changers. These perform the functions of the above plus having a special spindle will hold up to 4 discs and drop them automatically for continuous play.
Automatic record changers began appearing during the late 1930s on consoles. on portables they began appearing in the early 1960s as solid state circuitry made it possible for the mechanism to fit in a smaller cabinet. I had a GE portable with an automatic record changer that was manufactured in 1969. This was solid state with an all plastic case (cream colored)) with a plastic tone arm. It played 4 speeds, (16,33 1/3, 45 and 78).
Most GE players seem to date from about 1957 to 1984. In the last 3 years turntables and record players seem to be making a comeback but I have not seen any by GE as yet. A great book is THE FABULOUS PHONOGRAPH 1877-1977 by Roland Gelatt. It is my audio bible.
