Default BSR UA8 exploded view?

Does anyone have a BSR UA8 exploded view of the mechanism? I think I've taken on a project that is too difficult. Perhaps I've been watching too many youtube restoration videos? Anyway I bought a terribly rusted deck which I've stripped and resprayed. I couldn't match the original colour and went for a brown Gold colour. The motor runs well, the speed selector works well. The auto return works. The lever drops new records. Unfortunately the tone arm doesn't move in automatically when a new record is dropped. There were a few missing springs - I've downloaded the user manual. I've also watched every youtube video on this model to try and see if everything is in it's correct position. Unfortunately I think I'll need an exploded view of the deck to check that everything is present and in the correct position and functioning as it should etc. Any assistance please? I'm based in South Africa so you can understand the difficulty in paying in British pounds. It wouldn't be worth it as this deck is probably worth about R350 maximum.

I like your paint job, it looks tidy. How much rubbing down did you have to do before spraying?

Thanks. I wouldn't spray it this same colour again if I had to redo it. I'd rather go for a vintage cream colour and a semi metalic brown on the tone arm etc. I used a rust product on the metal and then sanded and re-applied the rest thing. I didn't strip it fully. It wasn't that taxing, just tedious. It's going into a cheap radiogram so it doesn't have to look perfect, just functional.

The motor looks brand new, good job. I quite like the metallic brown, it would go with any wood surround.
