TOP VIEW, COMPLETE CHANGER, TURNTABLE REMOVED.

This changer automatically plays ten 12" records or twelve 10" records. Service information contained in this bulletin covers the operation, care, and adjustments that may be necessary if the mechanism fails to operate properly.

OPERATION
The motor shaft presses against its idler wheel which turns the turnable (7103 or 7107) from the inside rim. The turntable rests on a pin through the turntable shaft 6655 and causes the turntable shaft to turn. The pinion 4246 at the base of the turntable shaft turns in a notch in the drive cam 4207 while records are playing. When the pickup arm 4283 reaches the inside groove of a record the bracket 6697 on the pickup crank 6694 presses against the trip screw 7555 which is mounted in the pawl latch assembly 7809. The opposite end of the pawl latch assembly releases the starting pawl 6643 allowing the starting pawl to engage the pinion. This starts the drive cam 4207 and the change mechanism.
As the cam begins to turn, the lift pin 6876 is forced upward by the raised portion of the cam. This lifts the tone arm off the record. The cam follower 6695 then rides its groove on the cam and swings the tone arm outward. During this outward swing the indexing pin 6862 slides off the index stop 6856 and is pushed upward by the indexing pin spring 4272. While the tone arm is all the way out, the starting pawl 6643 is cocked into position by the bracket 6697 on the pickup crank 6694.
The cam follower swings the tone arm in until the index pin 6862 contacts the index pin stop thus getting the proper needle drop position,

BOTTOM VIEW, LESS MAIN GEAR ASSEMBLY.

While the cam is turning the eccentric 6645 turns the changer blades thru the action of the eccentric arm 7144 and the tie bar 7562 which connects the changer shafts 4229 and 4232 together,
When the cam again comes to rest it is held in position by the cam stop lever 6659 and cam stop roller 6660.

MANUAL OPERATION
In manual operation the manual link 6668 holds the starting pawl 6643 in the cocked position at all times.

REJECT
The reject link 6667 releases the pawl latch assembly 7809 allowing the starting pawl 6643 to engage the pinion 4246 and start the change cycle.

ADJUSTMENTS
These adjustments are made correctly at the factory and ordinarily need never be altered. Should it become necessary to readjust, due to accident or tampering, proceed as follows: A

. Adjusting The Needle Landing Position
The needle drop adjusting screw 6715 is readily accessible from the top of the changer. To adjust, loosen the nut and turn the screw with a screw driver. Maximum adjustment is obtained from one complete turn of the screw-any more than one turn merely repeats itself. At the factory the needle drop is adjusted to 413 inches from center for a ten inch record and 511 inches from center for a twelve inch record. Both landing positions are governed by

BOTTOM VIEW, ONE HALF CHANGE CYCLE.

the the same screw so adjusting for one or the other should be sufficient. When completed, tighten locking nut.
If the landing position is out of range for the adjusting screw, the clamp 6858 may have loosened. With the drive cam 4207 in the rest position, move the cam follower 6695 in towards center as far as possible. Then move the tone arm in approximately 14 inches from center and tighten the clamp 6858. For fine adjustment, readjust the needle drop adjustment screw.
If the tone arm is bent it may require straightening. After straightening, run the changer through a change cycle manually and make sure the tone arm has proper height. (For height adjustment see paragraph B.)

B. Adjusting the Tone Arm Height
The needle should clear the turntable by 1'4 inches when at maximum height during change cycle. Adjustments can be made by turning the lift adjusting screw 4245. Before the power switch is turned on the changer should be run through its cycle manually to make sure that the tone arm passes underneath the lower change blade and does not jam.
If this adjustment is correct and the tone arm doesn't drop low enough to play the bottom record, inspect the main cam and see that the tone arm lift pin 6876 is all the way down in the hollow on the cam. If not, inspect the cam stop roller 6660 and see that it is in the proper position. Grasping the eccentric arm 7144 and pulling downward may help if the trouble is due to binding.

BOTTOM VIEW, IN OPERATION.

C. Adjusting the Position of Trip The change mechanism should start when the tone arm is approximately 111 inches from center. The trip occurs when the tone arm lever presses against the trip screw 7555 on the pawl latch assembly 7809. This screw can be adjusted to change the trip position.

D. Adjusting the Record Drop Both lower change blades are adjusted to drop a record simultaneously. A loosened driving crank 4224 would allow a record to drop on one side be fore the other. To reset, turn the turntable manually until the record is just about to drop, loosen the the driving crank4224 and adjust change blades so they are even. Then tighten clamp.

E. Adjusting Needle Pressure The needle pressure can be adjusted by turning the pickup spring adjusting washer 4308-1 which changes the pressure of the pickup spring 7818. This adjustment is made for the particular cartridge being used and adjustment may be advisable if a substitute cartridge is used.

TROUBLESHOOTING SQUEAKS & NOISES
Squeaks sometimes occur due to friction between the unplayed stack of records and the spindle. This may be eliminated by applying a thin coat of wax or vaseline to the spindle at the point of contact.
Check the oil wick 4228 on the main cam, perhaps it needs oil. If the wick appears dirty or gummy it

MAIN GEAR ASSEMBLY.

should be removed, thoroughly cleaned, and re placed. WEAK OR NO OUTPUT Check the pickup lead from the pickup to the amplifier.
If the amplifier is O.K. replace crystal pickup.

TURNTABLE WILL NOT TURN
No power applied to the changer.
Faulty switch 7478-4. Burned out motor winding. (See replacing motor.) Idler wheel spring disconnected. Foreign material jamming motor armature.
If in change cycle cam jammed or tie bar 7562 rubbing against the sub frame assembly 7806.

IMPROPER SPEED
Improper voltage or frequency. Drag on turntable or motor.
Motor or turntable bearings binding.

FAILS TO TRIP Starting pawl spring disconnected. Trip screw missing or set improper. Bent starting pawl or pawl latch. Dirt binding starting pawl or pawl latch rivets. Tone arm lever loosened. (See adjustment A.)
The pickup lead wire which emerges from the rear of the tone arm and goes down through the metal base is so placed that it will not hinder the movement of the tone arm. This lead should be free at all times, do not attempt to push excess wire through the base.

TONE ARM ASSEMBLY WITH BRACKET, WASHERS, ETC.

CHIPS RECORDS
Warped records are the most common cause for jamming or chipping records. Should the change blades chip fiat records they should be bent to have a, 06" clearance between them.

RECORDS DROP ON ONE SIDE ONLY
This is most likely due to the driving crank 4224 having loosened. For resetting instructions see Adjustment D. REPLACING A MOTOR Remove the turntable by lifting and giving the spindle a sharp tap to release it. Remove the power switch by taking out the two Phillips screws, Remove the switch cover and disconnect the motor wires. Disconnect the motor ground connection, remove motor and replace with a new one.

LUBRICATION
Normally, this mechanism should require no additional lubrication. However, a drop of any good machine oil on the turntable shaft bearings, motor bearings, and frictional surfaces once a year will do no harm.

CAUTION: Do not lubricate the trip mechanism or allow any oil to come in contact with the idler wheel.
