Hi All,
Working on a Mills Dance Master. The mechanism works fine if it has credit for several selections in a row. However when it gets to the final selection (or when it only has credit for 1 selection) then at the end of the record the mech gets stuck just before it reaches the standby (resting position) and if I don't manually nudge the carousel forward less than an inch, there is a buzzing sound from the cut-off box and the changer motor resistor behind the changer motor speed adjusting rheostat overheats and starts smoking. At first I thought this had something to do with torque of the changing motor but since it is changing just fine between multiple consecutive selections I now think it may be a timing issue between some of the switches or something in the cut-off box mechanism. When the chain of the changer motor is disengaged then the carousel moves freely so I don't think that the problem is related to the carousel wheel or the changer motor. Any suggestions will be much appreciated! Thank you, -Hans
