Good morning Jacques,

I've had a look at the chart.. but it's more complicated than what I thought... I should have something to check voltage and understand all the points into the electrical components.. after some tentative and tests I checked that after pushing on ON button, the arm always stopped and start playing from the moment on which the contact touched the red button Login to view image

We have the two V contacts in the picture above: when the second one (the one hidden on the right under the red plastic) touches the hidden red button the arm stopped.

So to make it stop at the beginning of 12 inch record, I've just folded a little bit more the first contact, the one visible, and now it's stopping! and the arm lower corectly!

The problem now (and I really don't know why..) after the arm lower the slide engine doens't run and the slide doesn't move... so the arm does not go on.. while the main platter engine runs as usual.

Have you ever raised this issue?

Thanks again!

Gianluca

It might get stuck because of what you did with the leaf spring. Usually the red caps do wear, but it required a very little draw to the leaf springs to compensate for that.

When it's stuck, does he carriage motor get voltage?
