The marks are usually inaudible in my experience, so if the
records are a source of music you will have no problems.  If
the records have value to you as objects in and of themselves
you will be disappointed.  I've found that the first-generation
AMI rotating-rack record changer, introduced in the G-200, is
gentler as it supports the records on their opposite edges
in a plane with the turntable via raised plastic dividers on
the wire pieces of the rack.  Since these points of the record
clear the rack first, and there is a considerable standoff
between them and the wire pieces, rubbing is reduced to a
minimum. I assume one of the design considerations of the
later record changer was minimizing its size, and as a result
more of the record rubs.  This later changer was the basis
for the CD changer, so it was able to shrink quite a bit.
