Princess 424 Home Switch Wiring

[jturner0305]

Hey everybody. I have recently acquired a Princess 424 that is inoperative. It's been a slow process in getting it to come back to life. The service/parts manuals I have are appropriate for the model, but aren't quite detailed enough to show me a picture of the home switch. Can someone post or message me a picture of how it is supposed to be wired? I think my switch has been modified, thus causing an issue with sequence number 8. Once the record is placed on the turntable, the turntable stops turning when the wobble switch de-energizes. According to the schematic, the home switch is supposed to be completing the circuit. Also, when I place the selector to Operate, the turntable will not index to home.

I've searched the forums and have not been successful thus far.

Many thanks.

Jt,
Put up a photo of that switch- I have a great, but not too long, and very convoluted memory, of it, since RockOla did that in two different ways--

Here's some pics after removal. I failed to take a photo before I started (dang it). Also, the tang on the back snapped right off, but as you can see the middle tangs have been soldered together. That seems to be incorrect. Plus I don't think the nuts are needed on the bolts.

Edit: Can upload pics for some reason.

Didja READ the info on photo up-loads in our FAQ's section ? (didja READ the Hi Newbies post there too ?)
It appears to me, that the switch has seen better days. I see no contact points that can connect with the top spring roller lever. It appears to me that the broken tang went to the shorter contact, that's still there ? --and the upper contact is grounded to the frame--yes, loosen the nuts and you will probably find they are, needed !

Thanks Ron. Let me see if I can find a replacement.
