Thanks Ron, I'll check those

So I just read your still have to deposit 50 cents for that to work. Lol. Box is on free play. I'll try that tonight.

Thanks Ron. On another note... know anything about the golden bar on these things? I am doing the cabinet restore on this now for the customer and notice the golden bar does not work.

Here is the fix. Mute switch was stuck and glad I bought an amp for this as the old one, and I am not sure how, but it kinda sort of worked but the replacement sounds much cleaner. Thanks Robert Ron and Rob for the assistance.

Ron I tried what you said it did not change. I did flip the reversing switch and it's changed now to cycling pick up and release record. I shot 2 small videos and emailed them to you.

Robert

Yes Ron I did see it. I'll try what you suggest. I'll let you know.

Thanks
Robert

I will try that Ron. Thanks.

So with the power off manually moving the motor only makes the pick up record move the mech does not move on the track.

Rob can you scan in the switch process? I have some aftermarket book that is pretty bad.

Thanks

Thanks Guys. The caps are all burned. There is a spaghetti mess of homemade wiring in there. The cancel switch is snapped. And it has multiple exposed wires going to it. They even went as far as rigging the power switch and using epoxy to seal splices.

Hi Ron. So what's occuring is.... With power off I can spin the motor and the mechanism will go to the playing a record state, clamp is engaged. Upon powering up the mech then spins and does the unclamp and returns the record to the stack then binds. I think it's a clutch issue because I remove the ...

Thanks Jeff that what I thought you were saying. I can't manually move the mech.


Rob it's not completing the cycle. It returns the record arm then it freezes. Power cycling it the motor jumps a little then freezes. Also the record arm is beyond the record magazine.

Hi Jeff. What do you mean by manually tripping the reverse switch?

So I have Ron's book on Mech's somewhere just can't locate it right now due to over crowding in my shop. :oops: so working on a customer's box which has been in storage for 10 years. Removed the dead critters and their nest. Fixed the receiver issue that was preventing selection but before I did tha...

So I traced the short back to the amp. When I full removed the amp I noticed someone has been having fun. No fuses all wire jumpers. Lots of evidence of a positive smoke test in this thing. I have a replacement on the way. Thanks for the help guys.
