Re: HMV model 2401 "Stereomaster" restoration
Hello Nick,
I don't like leaving a fault unresolved, but "the boss" wanted her kitchen table back, so expediency was the order of the day! It would be nice to track the fault down to a specific component, but whether I will ever have the time to do so is another matter.... The only thing that didn't seem quite right was the position of the "stud" fixed to the large metal plate on the underside of the deck (see second image - by the big single coil spring), that is driven by following the groove in the big diecast cam/gear wheel on to top side of the deck. It didn't seem to travel quite as far as the one in the correctly working mechanism. This then failed to move sufficiently the metal plate with several "steps" on one side (see first image) that is connected to the rod that rotates the tonearm.
Regards,
Dazzlevision
