I have this record player (one of my videos, tribute to oldschool stuff, near the end of the video). It's an excellent piece of machinery when it's working right. Mine is in an Electrohome Torbay S310 cabinet unit. I got it in playing condition now just a few minutes ago, but the tone arm will not return at the end of a record, and the autochange isnt working either. Any ideas on fixing it? Oh and custard51, there is a company on ebay that makes the 2-sided stylus ur looking for!!

@HamboneDeluxe the auto return works mechanically,just make sure the arm trigger one pc of metal when reaching the end of play.Then the metal will engaged and using the gear attached to the platter and move the arm back to its starting point in reverse circle.If there more SP being put,then the next SP will drop and arm will move to the play position.that is how its works...try.....

@HamboneDeluxe its a mechanical problem u need to study the system..test swing it to the end whether it will return?if return can adjust the screw so it trigger the auto return mechanism earlier..if not the mechanism need to study....try

@yoontai336 Thanks for the intel. I hate to bother you for more, but is it possible for you to maybe snap a few pictures of the underside of the record player? I would like to see all the gears and components in a fully operating unit. I really think mine is missing a piece..... :(

@tjfreak LOL!!! No, I never worked in a Radio Shack and never will. Why would you want to use a DBX? That was a failed attempt to compete with Dolby. Your idler wheel needs to be replaced. Try googling Garrard parts and buy one and save some $. Whoever sanded it down didn't know squat so take it somewhere else. But you can replace it yourself if you're careful. There's a C-clip over it that can be removed with a small screwdriver and small needle-nose pliers. Best of luck, I love old Scotts.

@49kasey Ok.. I understand thank you, I'd be happy to just find a fresh replacement with out altering anything,it's a weak phono section to begin with, I wonder if I can get an older 3BX DBX involved ? did you ever work in a Radio shack in Illinois ? now to find out why a recently re rubbered idler wheel makes it noticeably slower.

@tjfreak While I know about turntables, etc., I can't really advise you on that, other than that you shouldn't try to upgrade yours, the tonearm doesn't have enough adjustments to compensate for cartridge differences and it won't track properly. Either go back to the original cartridge and use the same screws or find a repair shop with a tech who really knows how to do a proper upgrade on that turntable. Maybe your new cartridge can be set up to sound right. The original was a POS.

@49kasey I appreciate your input,I have a 1969 2503 Scott compact,replaced the cart& ndle with appropriate (Cheap) $40.00 set up,No warmth,Tinny, orig was better.Going to start from Sq 1 ,realizing the reproduction limitations from this unit,its more sentiment,but I also interested in restoring the cart with a little improvement if possible,†he TT is clearly a 3000 with Scott ,711 stamped on it , if it was yours and $100 was the limit,what would you use ? it's not M magnet is it ?
