Beogram 5500 start stop microswitch not doing anything.

2 replies
Hi I'm currently working on a beogram 5500. I've cured a lot of problems but now I'm stuck. The middle of the 3 micro switches doesn't do anything. I have another 5500 to compare movement etc. I can here it click in and out but I'm unsure how to test it properly. plus I've had a look on the schematic but I've got totally lost as to what parts may need replacing if they are stopping the microswitch working. Any help appreciated.   Regards

okay scrap the previous post ..  it was  the the centre weight detector not going down far enough. Any way to adjust that? what happens now is it spins normally for a few seconds but the small lift cam rotates around to almost the start position .. record on or off .
