    1. Changing motor direction doesn't have as many moving parts. Boring.

  3. Reminds me of the 1950's Juke Boxes where a mechanical arm flipped the 45's depending on which song you selected to hear.

    1. Then they came out with the Nakamichi Dragon. The pinnacle of cassette recording technology at the time. And they still command top dollar today by audiophiles.
