Rockola 1984 model 490 issue

The machine was running perfectly till recently. I was wondering if anyone would know why the motor just seemed to stop working. I used to be able to use the slide switch in the side to cycle through my records. The DS1 light 12v supply light is also out on the main computer board. PLEASE HELP. I am moving in a few days and all I wanna do is be able to get my records out of the machine without breaking them.

Not at all familiar with a 490, but if the mech is similar to the older RockOlas I can tell you how to get your records out. Loosen the three bolts holding the carosel(record basket) motor. Slide the motor back so the gears don't touch. You can now turn the carosel manually and remove the records. Use a light touch - don't bend the record separators. Also be sure the gripper jaws are retracted and not sticking out into the record area. Ray
