I have one of the Magnavox 3 way consoles with the total remote that operates the record changer. It doesnt appear too complex, as the changer mechanism is just a basic micromatic plus a solenoid. When activated by the remote, the solenoid engages the reject mechanism. So far the one on mine works like a charm.

It also offers on/off and volume adjust for the stereo. However, I find its usefulness a bit limited since the volume is adjustable only in 3 steps, and the final step being off. The tv works that way too.

I always wondered if it puts wear on the electronics turning everything on then off if one wanted to go from the lowest volume to the hightest volume. I think they should have made the volume continously variable- I dont know why they couldnt since the remote has functions for tint and color, which physically rotates those tint and color knobs in either direction.
