Abstract

A tone arm assembly for record players has first and second electro-magnetic motors operable for swinging a tone arm in vertical and horizontal directions, respectively, in respect to a record disc on a turntable, and a control circuit for controlling the first and second motors in such a manner that the tone arm is moved from a raised inoperative position to a lowered playing position, or from the lowered playing position to the raised inoperative position in response to control signals.
