LS1 only plays "B" Sides

Hello,

Just bought a new LS1. Was working fine until of course I lubricated the mechanism. Everything looks like it's working fine, but it will not play the "A" side of the record. When you do, it will double scan and then park. For example, you could select "A1" and it will double scan then park, select "B1" and it will go right to it and play fine. Cleaned all contacts with contact cleaner and still won't work correctly. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Sammy,
Sure--the wire going to the pin that rides the rivets under the TMU is broken. By the way--"contact cleaner" is not recommended for use on open blade contacts.
