Victor Orthophonic Changer 10-35 Service Manual Needed

Post by Curt A »

I was at a collector's house today looking at an Orthophonic 10-35 that he had just acquired... not running. After several hours and changing out parts from another Orthophonic motor, we got it running. So, the electrical part is working, but when it goes into the mode where it lifts up the previously played record, it hangs up and makes a noise similar to a DD machine when the tonearm is not completely lifted. It sounds like a gear mesh issue and won't lift the record or change one. Sometimes by manually pressing on the lifting mechanism at the back it will partially go through a cycle. What is needed is some type of diagram of the lifting and changing mechanism to see if all of the parts are there. If they are, then it would help to be able to diagnose the mechanical issue. Anyone have a diagram or manual?
