Welcome back Geoff! The voltages were a little to high but not by much,maybe up to 1 volt.On either the forward or the rewind button(sorry,I don't remember which)even when I ajusted the voltage,it was still a bit(about 800mv or so) high but worked anyway. On the other side,I could adjust it higher or lower than needed.I didn't want to take the

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! IT WORKS!! Thank you again for all your support.I've been repairing electronics for twenty years but I have to say that I never could have don this without you. If you have time,I wish you can explain to me why the adjustment of the keys solved the last problem.I know the belt and the cleaning of the rod cured a part of it

Hi Geoff Yes,the motor goes into reverse very slowly and when it stops,there is no change in the coil voltage.It takes about 30 seconds for the arm to back up at total stop. I'll try lubricating at the other point see what it does. I'll keep you posted! thanks again chris

Hello! I changed the belt and there are some improvements.The carriage now reaches the disc exactly where it should but then,it starts to very slowly back up about a millimeter or two and the arm doesn't want to drop even if I make it travel to the middle of the disc.No clicks either.Should I put some grease on the threaded rod also?I put some on

Hi! Is the optical tracking sensor the one that detects the small movement of the needle at the base of the carriage?If so,when I made the arm drop by putting 5 volts on the coil,the arm motor was running slowly and doing what it is suppose to do.The light works fine.It's funny that the carriage would advance slowly if I make the arm drop but refuses

Hi Martin! I removed and cleaned the threaded rod with a degreaser and a toothbrush then I put everything back in place and the arm does move a little further(about 2 mm)but I still have the problem.I decided to try the same experiment with the arm removed leaving only the threaded rod.The result is the same so the carriage is not dragging.By the way

Thanks to both of you guys! I just cleaned the threaded rod and lubricated everything but the problem persists.The belt,althought not the triangular type seems to be fine as there is no slippage at all and no dragging.Could it be the problem anyway?Since we last corresponded I changed the 0ic1 5 volt regulator cause it was giving 4.8 volt so I thought

Thanks for replying Geoff! when I press PLAY ,the arm does move close to the edge of the record but stop short of reaching it.Then,I press forward and the arm will go over the record but the play button won't make the arm drop.I have check all of the detectors and motors and everything should work.the arm detector sends the signal correctly to the

I have a beogam 6006 turntable which the arm won't come down on the record.althought the detector arm sends the signal,it just doesn't work.the arm doesn't go to it's place on its own.I have to make it travel with the forward button.How can I fix that problem?thank you in advance
