Rockola 160 selection button #3 sticks in down position

[redgoat]

Hello,

First timer on this forum.

I have a Rockola Model 460 that I bought used over 30 year ago. It still plays well and sounds great. For some time now, the third button that is depressed for record selection is not activating and just stays down. The first two buttons will activate properly. Is something sticking or is the issue more involved. Sometimes, the third button will activate properly depending on where the last record was played. Can anyone help?

Ron,
Could you just copy the answer to my question and put it here because I cannot find it in stickies or elsewhere. Thanks.

Sorry-- I can't find it either ?? Gottbe a mechanical problem-- did you remove the keyboard from the phono and see it you can see any "dirt" in, and around those few numbers ? Watch it operate--see anything "different" in the way those  numbers react with the treadle bar- Ron Rich

Most likely you need to clean the latch switch. I don't have the manual for that model so can't point you to the exact page.

Redgoat,
Is the WI motor turning ? If not is it getting "HOT"--(be careful--can get hot enough to burn you !) ? Ron Rich
