Lots of contacts to check in this circuit. I would first check the cancel relay and it's contacts (under the scan toggle switch), but the circuit also goes through a section of the gripper cam switches, the transfer switches, and the stopping micro switches. I would also clean the slip rings and wipers on the basket. It would be good to test whether this problem occurs on even or odd selections or both. Might help you narrow down transfer and stopping switches. Good luck, Jim On Monday, April 29, 2024 at 05:20:03 PM EDT, Tony Miklos via Jukebox-list jukebox-list@lists.netlojix.com wrote:

Anyway it won't reject the record. About 3 years ago it had the same problem and I think I replaced the tone arm cancel switch. Worked great for 2.5 years. Same thing. Went to see it and voila, it started working before I got there. Tested the switch over and over and it's good. What the heck, I replaced it again and tested the new one real good. I don't have the schematic in front of me but I went over all I could think of. It kept working for 6 months then again it won't cancel the record. I should have posted this a week ago but I forgot. I'm scheduled to go tomorrow and check it out. Any tips anyone? Those schematics are hard to read, and offhand I forget if that manual has the "schemagrams" which are often misleading. Thinking of it now, my manual might be for a model J, but I don't think there would be any difference in the cancel circuit.
The one thing I've seen a few times is when the cam switches are dirty and the motor runs loading a record and travels until the motor binds and gets stuck, but it's not that. Also the bridge and cap have been replaced.
Thanks,
