Magnavox W747 turntable won't reject

[bnelson260]

I have a magnavox W747 turntable that will not reject and move to next LP. I've gone down the rabbit hole of ChatGTP that tells me mehanically everything seems ok.
Any tips, helps or anyone who repairs these turntables?

I have the service manual for the 800 series which I can send you. The relevant section is here. You'll need to understand the auto-stop mechanism and figure out what's sticking.

All tables of this age suffer from dried grease and a lack of lubricant. Rarely are they broken. A good cleaning is 90% of your battle here.

There is a big Gear with a tiny sliding cam less than an inch long, They call it the "Auto stop swing plate".

The grease and oil goes stiff and the cam no longer pivots.

You usually need to remove the Gear, Clean and re-lube the gear.

The Cam only gets a little oil.

Hope that helps.
