Thanks for the video! I did not see a rubber washer on mine, but the grease between the 2 silver plates was a bit thin, so I put a layer of Vaseline between the 2 plates and it works again! I may eventually have to replace the Vaseline with something more durable or more permanent. Thanks for isolating the problem and the suggested fix!
That general mechanism design is common to a lot of semi- and full-auto turntables and autochangers from the 1950s to today. I have a 1948 Emerson radio-phono whose original 78-only changer uses a very similar setup.
hi i have a teac px-500. theres is no lever for the auto return.its missing as i bought the tt as is.i noticed its not troubling my lift as it is stuck in place with no gear to trip the return.can i remove the gear and use the tt like that.i know i may just have to manually lift the arm
Hopefully there is a fuse blown somewhere. That would be a cheap and easy fix. Besides that, I would test the power supply transformer. After applying 120 volts to it, if it does not work then get a direct replacement transformer and try it. Hope that helps.

Many thanks! Thank you for sharing this, exactly the same issue I had with mine and really appreciate you showing how to repair it. So happy!
Thanks so much. was ready to shit can this thing but you showed me how to fix it. saved me a bunch of $$$$
You’re welcome. Glad I could help. That was the first turntable I ever worked on. Always fun to solve a mechanical puzzle.
Thanks for this amazing video
The same exact mechanism in Audio Technica LP60
that design is like the gear in bsr turntables

Any idea why mine will stick when opening but closes just fine? Sounds like a clicking noise when it sticks on the way out.
Thank you. You helped me.

Any Idea How belt Is Reinstall to TechnicsSL1200
Isn't the SL1200 a direct drive 'table? If so, there is no belt.
I have 2 of these sprockets and neither of them need a $.01 washer. They didn't ship with them.
I accidentally put it on 220v, how to repair it now?
