Thanks for the video! I did not see a rubber washer on mine, but the grease between the 2 silver plates was a bit thin, so I put a layer of Vaseline between the 2 plates and it works again! I may eventually have to replace the Vaseline with something more durable or more permanent. Thanks for isolating the problem and the suggested fix!
That general mechanism design is common to a lot of semi- and full-auto turntables and autochangers from the 1950s to today. I have a 1948 Emerson radio-phono whose original 78-only changer uses a very similar setup.
hi i have a teac px-500. theres is no lever for the auto return.its missing as i bought the tt as is.i noticed its not troubling my lift as it is stuck in place with no gear to trip the return.can i remove the gear and use the tt like that.i know i may just have to manually lift the arm
Hopefully there is a fuse blown somewhere. That would be a cheap and easy fix. Besides that, I would test the power supply transformer. After applying 120 volts to it, if it does not work then get a direct replacement transformer and try it. Hope that helps.
