Hi Jamie,
I'm not as technically proficient as you are with your video attachment but I think that I can help you. I have an article from Harold Hagen aka Dr. Know-it-all titled "1949 AMI C doesn't return record to magazine". I'd be happy to email that to you if you reach out to me at my email address.
In my rather lame AMI Model A service manual, there's a "cycle of operation" chapter that would be really helpful to you. You'll then have a roadmap of the order of operation in the system so that you can electrically check each part.
For you non-AMI folks, it'll most likely be the reversing control relay in the junction box. [8^)
Good luck!
Bill Schaefer

Hello all, I am still struggling with my AMI D-40. I still cannot get the record to return to the record rack. I am a novice in most cases however I am wondering if it could be the mechanism junction box? I'll try to attach a video if that helps. Please I'll take any help. As always thank you all for your help and replies.
