What I have is a Heathkit AD-27 Cabinet unit. It has a BSR 500A Record Changer. I know, not a great turntable and hardly worth fixing. I just believe that the entire package is pretty cool and would like to have it all working correctly. I have done a lot of research on these tables and have managed to get everything unstuck and relubed (I think).
The problem I am having with this unit is that when it is initiated it starts fine and the arm moves over to the record and sets down properly. But, after about 2-3 seconds the arm lifts and returns to it's home position, only to repeat the whole process again, and again, and again until switched off. It will do this whether I use auto or manual.
It seems to me that there is still something stuck somewhere. Could be in the start-up mechanism or maybe in the record holder arm mechanism.
I've included some pic's of the unit. If anyone has any ideas on possible problems or solutions, could you please respond. Thank You!!!!
