While we're on the subject of the 490...
I picked one up today. Plays fine, but it seems to pick random songs the higher number you choose.
When the carousel is turning, the sensor acts like it misfires and I hear a couple of clicks and the carousel seems to sputter for a sec then continue on. More often than not though, it doesn't grab a record at all and just spins around to the home position.
I took the cover off of the computer to check the battery... and there is no corrosion. There is also no battery at all!
Would this cause some of what I am seeing?
Thanks!
