To remove the selector wheel on a 1015 is it just the 3 mounting bolts to remove? I want to confirm all the pins are moving like they should and check the springs too.

It sounds like you are talking about the Electric Selector Assembly. If so, yes, the three bolts will remove it from the front casting, which will leave the Override Switch and the Cable And Plug Assembly still attached. However, you don't need to remove it to check the operation of the pins. With the machine unplugged, simply reach in between the plates and manually trip the Latch Assembly for each one of the pins. One of the pins may not release all the way, that will be the one that the Selector Crank has stopped behind. You can reach in there and move it out of the way by hand. Reset all of the pins by pulling back on the wobble plate all the way around until all the pins have reset. Cheers, Russie

Thanks for the response. Yes that is the part I was referring to. I will do as you mentioned.

Update:#5 pin wouldn't pop like the rest. Seems like the cancel plate isn't releasing it like it should. Hoping it is just stuck and if I keep moving it back and forth will free it up.

Best not to use oil on it. They are supposed to operate dry. Use WD-40 instead, the carrier evaporates away and leaves behind dry lubricant.

Hi Russie,
I dis-agree with you on "WD-40". That product is a "Water Dis-placer" only-- It dries totally, leaving nothing but stickiness, if ANYTHING was there before being sprayed. IF "cleaning" is needed, use a plastic safe, safety solvent or rubbing al-key haul then, If some lubrication is needed, use a food grade silicon spray. Ron Rich

I used a drop of 3n1 oil and kept moving it back and forth, it started to move a bit but still doesn't "pop" like others when button is pushed. Had to stop for supper so hopefully can get back at it. If unsuccessful in getting it to function is that a sign the coil is in need of replacing?

Well, I'm thinking there are a couple of possibilities to explore. It could be the pin has some corrosion which is causing sticking. Or, the coil could be burned to the point where it is weak. Or, (somewhat unlikely) the overlap on the Main Relay is too short, though that likely would cause several pins not to release properly (and pull the wobble plate all the way to the play position). OR, the adjustment of the Wobble Plate could be too tight. There may be other issues too. I think the best thing to do would be to remove the pin of the one that doesn't release properly and inspect it. While you're at it, examine the coil and look for signs of overheating. Which number is it that is sticky? Cheers, Russie

Ron,
I checked again to be sure of the characteristics of WD-40. From the 'Net: "WD40 is a penetrant, not a lubricant, and because its not designed to continually lubricate something, it'll dry out sooner or later." I would guess that just about everyone knows what WD stands for, but not many know that the 40 stands for "the 40th formula", suggesting that 39 tries preceded it! Cheers, Russie

Hi Russie,
Yep-- atsa the old story -- keep doing the same thing 39 or 40 times and maybe you'll wind up with something that works ? Question-- Is this a "coil", which has a "plunger", or a "magnet", that pulls a pin to it ? Ron Rich

How is wobble plate adjusted? Loosing or tightening the bolt on the front of selector wheel?

Pin #5. Pin seems to move ok it looks like the release plate between the pin and coil does not move.

Ron, the 1015 "pin bank" has individual coils for each selection that when energized, toggle a metal lever (45112 Latch Assembly), which has one edge holding the pin by a groove. The end of the lever gets pulled out of the pin's groove thereby releasing the pin. The spring on the pin has enough tension to overcome the tension of another spring which holds the wobble plate in the "inactive" position. Any pin released will pull the wobble plate enough where the center of the wobble plate pulls on linkage attached to a "Micro Switch" thereby starting the play cycle.
vinylguy, it sounds like the pin is not releasing properly. If you toggle the metal lever by hand (just put your finger in there and press, make sure power is disconnected), then does the pin release properly?

PS, I wouldn't adjust the wobble plate until all other avenues have been explored. It is a somewhat delicate adjustment.

Hi Russie,
That's what my great but not too long memory, thought-- It's an electro magnet, not what's usually thought of as a coil & plunger.
V-guy, Is this phono rigged for free play, using one of the el cheepo plugs sold, on ePay? If so, you well may have a partly burned coil ! Check the impeadence reading against a good one ! This problem could be as small as a grain of sand stuck in/on that pin somewhere-- or "stuff" stuck to the coil-- whatever you do, do NOT "lengthen", stretch, nor shorten springs in an attempt to "fix it" !
