You have to run it through it's cycles. Be sure it is exhibiting it's specific cycles
the end of record, no new record, and end of record with a new one to drop. It
may be another problem than you think, more grease glue in a different spot, if
you can not see distinct different cycles. And it may also have a tone arm position
problem, 3 in one Oh-No you have it in front of you, you have to figure it out.

Soundesign and BSR were yesterdays Yougo's, but by Today's standards; Cadillacs !

HA HA HA !

Well that's the problem it works fine when its dropping a record initially but when it gets to the end of the record that's where it screws up and doesn't cycle properly when it gets to the end of the record (with no more records to drop in the changer) its supposed to take the tonearm and drop it back onto the tonearm rest and shut off the machine but instead it acts like its going to take the tonearm back to the tonearm rest but then instead of dropping it on the rest it drops it back on the record and then shuts off the machine which isn't what its supposed to do, and I'm not sure what it does when it has another record cued up on the changer as I've only tried it with one record on the changer, but yeah it seems that there's something wrong with the gear that operates the changer mechanism as it doesn't seem to stop at the right spot for dropping the tonearm back on the rest when the end of record cycle finishes. The drop size adjustment switch function works fine (the 12, 10, and 7 switch for dropping the tonearm onto the right size of record).
Its just that the end of the record cycle function doesn't work right and there was not any dried grease left anywhere anywhere in that changer mechanism except on the cycle cam gear but that I didn't think would throw off the changer mechanism that much but maybe I'll double check that when I get home later on.
