Magnavox Micromatic R600 Speed Adjust Problem

[Hi-Fi-Mogul]

Here's a tip if you encounter a speed control that remains stuck
after cleaning and lubrication.

Last night I was finishing up this changer to replace a badly defective one for
a customer.

Upon re-assembly, I noticed the speed adjust control was really
stuck.
This came after thorough cleaning and lube of the speed adjust
assembly.

Today I removed all the linkages so that I could remove the assembly for inspection.
It's best to remove the motor for better access.

I noticed that the "idler elevating spindle" was rubbing against
its pass through hole in the "idler elevator bracket".

Upon further inspection, I saw the bracket "L" was bent away
from its 90 degree proper orientation to the "idler elevating spindle".

I used a large set of pliers and gently bent the bracket a bit.

The spindle now moves freely through the bracket hole.

Re-assembled and the speed control now works OK.

That is a good tip, Mr. Mogul. Thanks for sharing......
