Default Re: HMV Model 120

Its fixed!

I stripped the motor out and relubricated it, cleaned and relubricated the rest of the deck, replaced the capacitors and ran it from the 115V bench supply. No smoke, no burning smells.

One issue that I'm having is that the records do not drop all the way down onto the turntable.

The is a sort of spring mechanism at the side of the spindle, (I'll try and take a picture) which prevents the record from falling to the table, I presume its meant to slow the rate of descent.

Its not operated by anything other than the record itself.

Any ideas.
