here we go again lol.. a friend of mine just bought this and drug over to me.. "mike can fix it" lol. first thing i did was get shocked, damn power cord end was wired wrong..
Coin mech is mia. Odd, because it always stays coined up somehow.. somebody mustve done some sort of mod.
The mechanism that picks up records is heavily gummed up, no shock there..
The only other thing i really need your guys input on is that it hums from the speakers....BAD... the pickup works but just hums something fierce. If i unplug the phono input from the amp, humming stops.. That would lead me to believe the amps are ok and i have a bad needle cartridge or wiring correct?
thanks.
edit" man ive been lubing and working this pickup arm for hous now. its half freed, i got it to pickup a record but the motor wants to keep going a little more but the mech wont let it... so after awhile the motor gets hot and pops the breaker.. try as i might i cant get it totally freed up. looks like i have to totally dissassemble this one. any pointers?
