BSR UA16 spring - and why you should ALWAYS take photographs!!! - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

It also started quite simply - I'm restoring a Bush SRP 31D record player with a BSR UA16 deck, which wouldn't shut off. With the help of this now closed thread:

https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...ad.php?t=58887

I identified the culprit ( a weak spring on the shut off arm) but having shortened it, I cannot for the life of me remember where it goes - I am suitably embarrassed at not taking my own advice which is to ALWAYS take photos....!!!!!!

Please would somebody kindly put me out of my misery? I have the UA16 service manual, but not the exploded parts diagram which I assume gets with it

Photos (taken after the event!!) attached - it's the lower of the two swings you can see; the one looking bit forlorn an unattached...!!!!

Many thanks,

Bryan
