Hi,

I recently bought a Rockola 440 which was working at the sellers house but when I got home and turned it on, the turntable will not stop (in operate mode) and when I make a selection, the write-in arm responds but the read-out arm does not move and there is a slight buzzing noise from the read-out's hammer coils. I also noticed that the hammer coil closest to the back of the jukebox (on the read out arm) starts to get warm after a minute, I power it down before it gets hot to prevent (hopefully) damage. In it's current state the tonearm does not physically reach the end of the record to initiate the end cycle. I'm guessing because the stuck read-out arm is preventing this?

I have the service manual but the troubleshooting for this seems pretty basic as far as I can tell. Does anyone have any tips on troubleshooting this specific problem?


Thanks,
Robert
