Rockola 1493 Tech Question
The gripper arm sometimes misses picking up the record from the carriage. When
the carriage is in the "home" position it appears that the gripper arm is not centered. Is there an adjustment? Thanks, Jim Phila., Pa. |

If I had to guess without seeing it I would guess that the drum (record
wheel) is out of adjustment. It's pretty hard for the gripper arm to get out of side to side adjustment unless it's physically bent, and then it probably wouldn't pick up a record at all. Try adjusting the drum position. There is a collar on the shaft that can be loosened and then you can move the drum. Keith "Mainpin" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Jim Phila., Pa. Forget about centering it over the home position, make sure it is centered when it stops over the record slots. If it isn't, there is an adjustment on the search arm. (the arm on the far right that rotates when the record carriage rotates.) If it is centered, then it sounds like a typical gripper arm that needs to be lubed, possibly dissasembled and cleaned first. When sticky, they tend to lift before clamping the record. -- Tony |

Tony,
I made the adjustment on the search arm by turning the screw a half turn and it corrected the problem. Thanks, Jim |

I just wanted to thank you for responding (in the same thread also, that is an extra bonus!) with what the problem was. So many people take the advice and never give a second thought to let everyone know what the problem was. -- Tony |
