Sonata 1050 Problem??? Please, some input needed.
 

I've this beast in the shop now and the question I have is this: During
transfer from the carousel to the platter, I notice the spindle come up
slightly, mid-arch, then drop below the level of the 45 being played before
end of cycle, thus resulting in the record not being centered perfectly.
I've looked at the cam lobe, looks fine but maybe not adjusted quite right.
Gonna try some tinkering this afternoon. Also, this box has several
microswitch issues I'm resolving as well.
Are those stupid plastics where the fluorescents are mounted in the upper
portion of the door available? I realise these boxes were made in Mexico,
there is a better way of mounting them, isn't there??? Since '73 they've
have ample time to dry and become very brittle. I'm not liking this box
anymore!
Cheers, Steve.
