I'm working on my latest find. I've always wanted a bare bones album selector and found it in an AP2. I love this machine! After a cleaning, lubing and switch adjusting, I have it functioning fairly well. I'm going thru the mechanical adjustments now to tweek it all in.

I'd like a clarification on the detent adjustments. As per the copies from the manual, I want to know which adjustment is #2, #3 & #4.
One is on the detent arm, one is on the clutch yoke lever and the other is on the detent lever. Which is 2, 3 & 4. I haven't found this clarification anywhere in the manual.




Thanks,

Jack

Hi Jack,
As per your drawing--the top one is 3, center is 2, and one on the left is 4--same as a jukebox--
My advise to you and all is: Do not re-adjust them-if working, no adjustment is needed, unless ( and usually not, even then), a part is changed !
Further advise--FILL, both motor cups--several times, with 20 wt. oil, ONLY !

Thanks Ron! After analyzing the next few pages of the manual I realized they were referring to the adjustments listed as clutch 2, 3 & 4.

The play motor has oil tubes and I oiled them. The scan motor didn't. But I did dribble some oil into the bushing on one end, however, the other end has an integral gearbox on it. I oiled the shaft coming out of that but couldn't get at the motor bushing on that end without removing the gearbox.

One additional question. The record rack and tormat were removed for the cleaning and oiling. When I installed and adjusted the record rack, it's at the extreme left in its adjustment. The tormat is at its extreme right, but still comes a little short of the contact and wiper being centered together. I thought both adjustments should be pretty close to the center of their slots. I've read other posts about the pinion gear possibly being one tooth off. Does that seem reasonable? I did have the clutch assembly removed for cleaning and oiling.

Hi Jack,
Yes--sounds as if the pinion gear is one tooth off !
