Comments and Reviews


Vinylville 13th Jul 2017		This is the Hutchison designed adapter. As described by an acquaintance, author Chuck Miller, and posted in several blogs: "The Hutchison adapter was named after Tom Hutchison, a New Jersey technician and inventor. In the 1950’s, Hutchison worked at the Walco Corporation, designing and selling phonograph needles, cartridges, cleaning solutions, cleaning cloths and tonearm brushes for the top music companies of the time, when he received a phone call from RCA president David Sarnoff. Sarnoff wanted Hutchison to produce a better 45 insert that would reduce slippage on non-RCA dropchangers. Using Sarnoff’s ideas, Hutchison developed a plastic adapter with large raised bumps along the surface. These “drive pins” allowed consumers to stack multiple 45’s on thin-spindle dropchangers, and as each record dropped, the drive pins would interlock with the adapter below it – making each record spin at 45 RPM, from the first disc to the last."
