Hi Mauro,

The usual contender for that is the odd style micro switch that is at the other,closer to the front side of the bank of standard ones. It will cause that to occur if it is either broken or needs adjusting.

It could also be that the selection pin is not being reset (check that) which will cause the rear stopping big micro switch to not disengage and will give the same problem.

Also it could be the transfer motor is overrunning due to the mechanical brake and starting the cycle all over again. That's possible but the least likely.

Check that black micro switch firstly. I replaced mine 6 months ago for the same issue you are having and I replaced some years ago when I seemed to have a lot of continentals in my repair round.

Come back to us if that doesn't solve it.

I have a Continental 1 which was working fine and I decided it was time to replace the ac chords on the mechanism. I removed the mech, removed the turntable and the gripper motors, replaced the zip chords and put it back together. It started picking every selection and immediately rejecting them as soon the needle made contact so I figured I had to reset the transfer motor as per the service manual. I did so carefully and adjusted all 6 microswitches but the problem still persist. It also seems the gripper and record are a bit out of alignment. Before I start adjusting everything and potentially worsening the issue I thought it best to deal with the selection and rejection issue first. I have reread the manual but still have no idea what could cause this? The end of record switch is not activated. Looking to the group for some guidance here. Thank you, Mauro Mississauga, Ontario

Lack of lubrication on the gripper motor spring loaded clutch will cause it to stay engaged. The motor will coast, then the micro switch activates the motor again.  On Thursday, June 12, 2025 at 12:21:46 PM EDT, M De Simone via Jukebox-list jukebox-list@lists.netlojix.com wrote:
