I have ordered the manual from jeff. Any help would be greatly appreciarted. marty Oil the turntable motor. If it has the brass tubes fill them full, let it feed in for 30 minutes then top them off again. If no fill tubes you will have to drop the motor out of the mounting plate (let it hang by the wires - don't totally remove it). I do the bottom first and let it absorb so it doesn't drip back out . Oil it thru the 8 holes around the bearings, tilting the motor so the oil runs toward the bearing. On the top oil the 8 holes and put 3 or 4 drops around the shaft. Don't go heavy on the oil - too much is not good either. Check the 3 rubber mounts that hold the motor - if they are hard or falling apart, replace them. Put a couple drops of oil on the idler wheel center hole- DON'T get oil on the rubber . Clean the outer part of the rubber wheel with some rubbing alcohol. Clean the inside rim of the turntable. Playing one number off could be a sticky detent assembly or a broken tooth on the sprag wheel or the basket not alligned right. Could be an electronic unit - let's hope not. If it has been sitting for a while, you may play it for a while and the problem goes away. Hope this helps - post back if you need to. Ray |
