I was given this beautiful table, had been stored away for years and took some work to get motor working and lubricated... now spins beautifully and does not throw belts. I then went to work on getting the cueing mechanism etc lubed and functioning as well.   That is where I got myself into trouble.  I must have installed the white plastic Cam Lifting Wheel incorrectly because it is no longer functioning as it should. If I turn it manually it will catch the small white gear, but then it goes back to the flat spot of the wheel and does not catch.   Does anyone have a picture of how it should be installed at rest? As it may be obvious from my post, I am not a skilled technician. In it's current state, it just spins and no switch has any effect on it.   It will spin until unplugged.  No arm movement, no lift, etc.
The center spindle for the cam wheel can be lubricated, but all the small "rattling" arms and levers on the cam wheel should run clean and  dry. They must NOT be lubricated, or things won't work. Martin
Wow, that is incredible information... I now know where I messed up because I did go in and oil those parts, blindly.  Will clean up and report on my progress.
Removed all traces that I could find of oil/grease (that I added) and unfortunately it made no difference here... the white gear spins until it reaches the blank spot, but gear doesn't catch.
