Working on a Wurlitzer OMT that had a bad CD player. I repaired the CD
player and here in the shop when testing it, the turntable would
sometimes turn faster than the CD and make some noise. Sometimes it
would spin and play, but way too often it ends up putting the CD back
and not playing it. I had thought that maybe my Rowe/AMI test juke was
somehow different in the clamp arm, with less weight or something?
I installed it back into the OMT and it's still
spinning/slipping/putting CDs back. The round plastic pressure disc
part of the clamp arm is just plastic, no metal and/or magnet. I
*think* there was a magnet on the CD player that may have pulled the
pressure disc, IF it had any metal in it. To add to the dilemma, the
centering cone on the player was missing and I could not find it in the
machine. I did install one but am not sure if that has to do with the
problem. It doesn't appear to be. So should the pressure disc have a
metal washer of sorts in it instead of a magnet?
