what a mega PITA this carp tt is.

got the new idler, got another phono motor, had to turn down the idler a bit, lube the replacement motor bearings all good. Then the cheap a$$ plastic switch messed up. Geez I mean cheap.

Anyway I had to perform surgery to take out the switch, monkey with it for a while (the detent overcenter spring was not seated correctly) get it all back together. It works (cycles thru and will turn it self off) about 75% of the time. the other 25% the switch will not go all the way to off and the end of the cycle, leaving the ilder engaged.

I am going to play with it some more and make sure its got good lube were ever I can find a rubbing point to max the force applied to that stupid switch.

argh.....

I so want to stuff a magnavox imicro matic in there.......

I just hope the TV goes smoothly.
