The last
real Ditchburn was the MK2R. This was a conversion from the "Fridge" 78
player (Music Maker Mark 2) to a machine that played 30 45s. The entire
top of the cabinet was cut off and replaced with a glass fibre hood
assembly, the chrome art deco flash was removed and the mech remodelled
with a strange 30 tray stack with 7 inch trays. The bottom of the mech
was still the same as used on the 78 play machine.
Freddy Bailey:
"... that the Music Maker Mark II had been cut down and remodeled to
play 30 45's, this was only done on a few model's, (see picture with a
very
square box style) they then offered to remodel the
Music Maker Mark II to their new production model
-
the Music Maker 2R, This was sold as a full production
model along side the Telematic
model's from Germany."
