Hello AGAIN, to everyone!
I posted previously re an RX-2 turntable that worked for 'a while", then...stopped working for "a while'.

i was advised that it could be oxide coating on the "press-for on" switch.

However, when repeatedly pressing the start up switch on the front right, after 3-4 pushes, i hear a "click" which will then allow me to manually spin the turntable & have the tonearm cycle. Yes...i DO support the arm so it doesn't get damaged.

If it really WERE the switch/oxide coating, why would i get the click that allowed it to cycle?

Note that the turntable did not spin on its own after the "click".

Thus...i still have a problem (intermittent).

Any ideas now?

Thank you all...and Chris for your help before.

Jerry
