Two new problems with my SPS 160.
#1 I've cleaned the contacts, removed and cleaned the clutch. Clutch adjustments 1-4 are good. I can start and stop the motor with the service controls. I can manually trip the mech in to play position and it pulls records and plays. It will not reject at the end of record and neither the service reject or the reject on the back of the cabinet work. The reed switch looks to be adjusted correctly and the magnet is still attached where it should be.
I removed the DCC and SHP and put them in to the cabinet of another SPS160 and it trips and rejects normally so I fell certain the problem lies elsewhere but I'm not certain what to check. The Black & Grey Box book just mentions the reed switch position or missing the magnet. And the Microlog troubleshooting guide says to check AMP and DCC (24V) but they work in the second phonograph with a different mech and black and gray boxes.
It's almost like a break in the circuit but I didn't have my DVM with me to check continuity.
I'm sure it's something simple...unless it can be related to issue #2 which I doubt.
#2 Any key causes the reset light on the keypad to light up and no selection can be made. I'll take the keypad out and deep clean it this week and hopefully that fixes the issue and it's not a black box problem.
So my question is could these to issue be related? I'm thinking probably not. And what else should I check on the reject circuit? I'm sure I've overlooked something simple but with the Amp and DCC working when placed in the other SPS I'm not sure what to check.
