Aeolian Vocalion automatic brake mechanism

[apruizii]

I need help! I just picked up an Aeolian Vocalion upright phonograph and was given the automatic brake mechanism separately. I screwed it back on but am having trouble trying to get it to function properly. It is a very complex mechanism!! I've included two photos showing the mechanism.

Does anyone know if I've installed it correctly and whether there are any parts missing?

I would appreciate it if someone could provide photos showing this mechanism properly installed to help me figure out how to get it working and determine if there are any missing parts.

Thanks!!

No worries. I was able to find the attached photo on ebay from a sold Aeolian-Vocalion motor and automatic brake mechanism like mine, and was able to use it as reference to make some adjustments. Fortunately my mechanism didn't have any missing parts. The automatic brake mechanism now works great!
