Hi guys;
I've got a Rowe TI-1 with the familiar Model #1100 carriage in it... the problem I'm having is, when I select a song, every few songs the selector coil locks on, in the write-in. So the buttons will stay stuck in, the selector wiper will spin around, the coil will fire to lock the pin down, then stay stuck on... so the read out will find the record, and play it over and over again since the reset coil can't push the pin down, since the selector coil is holding it down!
So the coil starts smoking after a couple minutes and you realize it's stuck in. Usually the buttons are stuck in too. If you turn the scan switch to off, the coil immediately releases, and when you turn the scan switch back on the coil is fine. So I don't believe it's the actual coil, it's whatever fires it.
I've looked over the schematics but can't figure it out, what makes that coil fire, and what kills the power to it? Does it involve the latch relay, since the buttons are sticking in? It doesn't do it every song, just every few.
Thanks!
