After cleaning many contacts and using lube on anything that moved my 3700 now almost works. I select a few plays, the programmer moves and selects the right pins, so far so good...but the record carousel never moves. It is free, and I can manually turn it and when it lines up with a selection it locks in and plays the record, even returning it properly. (before the cleaning and lubing it occasionally went into "Frisbee" mode and sent a 45 sailing) but the carousel never moves and I can't hear the motor running.
I assume it is either a bad motor or the driver for the motor circuit. Any ideas or advice? Where is the driver (or relay) located?
Also, when I removed the lower speaker panel to shake out the remains of a rat condo I noticed a small lamp in there. After further investigation (getting a flashlight) I found about 10 or more on a bar. None were lighting up so as an experiment I put in a #44 lamp from my pinball spares. It lit! Now the only way I see to get to the other 9+ bulbs is to remove the bar (3 screws + wiring). I can't see any hinges or latches to get inside the unit any other way. I there a better way or is this why nobody replaced the bulbs in the first place?
Thanks for any assistance,
