Hi Jamie,
When a record is returned to the rack, the casting at the back of the gripper arm has 2 cut outs and depending on a or b side, a bar will sit in one of the castings which duly guides the correct side of the record to the turntable. On reverse, it does the same. What I'm thinking is maybe the bar that sits in the cut out on the casting is either bent, stiff, or it's linkage not engaging, forcing the gripper to not centre correctly on its return.
If you play a b side and reject it and just before the record is put into the rack, power off and with your hand manually try to line the gripper up correctly. Don't force anything. If there is any play there where you can waggle the gripper arm between the correct and the wrong slot, then that's likely to be your problem.

Hi Nigel, are you suggesting something is loose at the base of the gripper arm? The E is the same as the G model on the gripper. Im not sure about the continental. Thank you - Jamie

It's been ages since I worked on an E, but if the gripper pivot design
is similar to the g to continental 2, an a or b side lug engaged into the back of the gripper casting, operated by a solenoid and a bracket assembly.
I'm thinking in your case, is that engaged correctly on the b sides,
because if it isn't, the gripper will likely wobble and probably shove the record back in the wrong slot.

When the odd numbered selection is removed from the rack, does it
dragalong the record rack divider? My memory of the component name isfailing me, but if the lever switch on the carriage, when it strikes the selectionlever for an odd numbered record, is in the wrong position it will stop thecarriage too early or too late to put the carriage in the right position toremove and replace the record. The only other thing that would cause itto be returned to the wrong rack position would be if the carriage movedbetween the time the record is removed and replaced, and since you didn'tmention that happening (and I can't envision a condition that would causethat) I'm assuming it's an alignment issue.
