Is it possible that the record skips at the end because the half nut has run off the end of the lead screw before the song ends? Happens a lot, especially with 4 minute records that have shrunken and will not go on the mandrel far enough for the carriage to reach the end of the tune.AmberolaAndy wrote: Fri Jun 17, 2022 8:30 pm Now it wants to be a turd by starting slow then speed up playing normally! Persnickety machine this is! I wonder if it’s that 2/4 minute switch a culprit of robbing power at the beginning of a record?
Ok. I found out if I wait a few seconds for the machine to speed up that issue doesn’t happen! Lol. But now the record skips at the end!
That was before I landed into the big pickle I am in now. Like I said more times than I’d like to admit, every time I attempt to fix something I end up goofing it worse! I also admit I unscrewed the half nut and tracking bar a couple times to see if moving it in its place would do anything. but It has not.JerryVan wrote: Sat Jun 18, 2022 4:28 pmIs it possible that the record skips at the end because the half nut has run off the end of the lead screw before the song ends?
