Ok.
Check the 2 large black switches at the top right of the deck, the ones that the A/B toggle operates.
Ok, will do.
Check the relevant large black stopping switch behind the pin casting and check the microswitches beneath the tonearm.
Will check, by the way I believe these are ok...
You can remove the rear pin casting and meter continuity over the reset solenoid. I wouldnt think it has broken but you never know.
Will check. To eventually remove the reset solenoid, it will be sufficient to remove the rear pin casting, or more steps will be needed...?
Thanks!

Hello again!
The reset solenoid 1 (or solenoid 2, must check which one, it's the one
about even numbered records) in my Microtecnica Conti2, just stopped
working, it doesn't matter which odd numbered selection I do.
Everything else it's working fine, and if I reset the pin by hand for
that selection, it's all ok. I don't see the reset coil even trying to
reset the pins, but the plunger moves freely, if I push it by hand.
So, I'd like to find a way to check it without dismounting everything,
just to be sure it's a coil fault and not something else.
First of all, at which voltage it's that coil operated? I suppose 110v ?
Where does the impulse for the coil starts from? There's a place where I
could check with a tester if everything else it's ok, just to be sure
it's not a problem with some old cable, or a microswitch?
Also, as far as you may know, there's any video around about how to
access that solenoid...?
Thanks!
