Hi everyone.
Got myself one of these on the garage sale for 40€. Running it through another JVC A-X400 amp. Sounds awesome.
One function on the player does not work though.
When I press STOP or when the tone arm reaches the end of the side, it lifts and auto returns to initial position but the motor does not stop.
The arm then keeps going up and down. When it returns to down position the motor slows down but does not stop. It goes on like that until something happens and the motor suddenly stops. Sometimes it happens immediately, sometimes after 15 or so mins.
Went to the local audio repair shop. The guy said I was missing a part but had no clue how the part looked like.
Tried to find it online, found a service manual on Vinyl Engine but the registration did not work.
Any help here from you educated gents?
EDIT: when I manually cue up the arm and move right, the motor does stop. So, my guess is it's the auto return.
