funny i just got a webor "musicale" and its constantly cycling as well.someone told

me there is a little rubber bumper that engages and stops the cycle.i wonder if dropping

your keys made the little bumper fall off? i know this is many months ago but since i just

learned this tidbit i thought of your vid and wanted to share

@chompo7 Thanks for the info. Ill be honest, THat player was always a little fast as it needed an idler wheel, and my fix for it caused it to speed up. Once this happened, I just put it on display and got my 58 magnavox out. I dont have any money to put into these at all right now. When I get the money for an idler for it, Ill try to check the bumper you mentioned and see if I cant get it all back in shape.

I think it is either sticking linkage, or perhaps something may be a bit out of adjustment, or bent, and it has somethin gunderneath bumping the eject linkage. I've seen the speed knob stick pretty hard, ten people force it, and bend the linkage. If anything looks stuff under it, most likely needs some good cleaning and proper lube. I use vaseline on moving metal parts, and 3in1 on the shafts.

@umajunkcollector Thanks for the reply. Ill have to pull the changer and troubleshoot. Its just weird that it only does this on 78.

The keys that you dropped must have completely screwed the internal mechanisms of the changer. You basically need to have the changer replaced as a result!

@OldMusicOnVinyl1 If yo throw away changers after small malfunctions, You are making a big mistake! This is a simple adjustment of some form, Not something Im about to replace.

I think you have mentioned before on this changer, you press down on the middle of the dial to start the change cycle. It almost seems like that mechanism is stuck down as it looks as if it is always rejecting. Maybe the weight of your keys (if your keychain is like mine lol) has caused something to stick down?

[RCALennon]

That is so odd that simply dropping your keys on it could cause such weirdness to happen. Beautiful player, I have no suggestions for fixing it. Good Luck!

@78Revolutions - Ah ok. In that case have you tried lifting the red button after pressing it? It might not be popping back up fully or something

My guess is whatever has gone wrong it's directly under it

[RaymondTVinyl]

So odd!! Can't imagine a set of keys would do that. I agree with the experts below. Good Luck!

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

I don't know how a set of keys would malfunction a changer, but probably it's what the others say I needs a cleaning and a lube job.

Another thing I've encountered is dry-rotted rubber motor mounts. They are there to reduce motor vibrations and noise. This afffects the highest or lowest speed position. Usually it also causes MISALIGNMENT FOR THE IDLER WHEEL, IT DOESN'T TRACK PROPERLY ON THE LITTLE FLYWHEEL IDLER. So if the rubber motor mounts are deteriorated, the motor will hang too low in its carriage or mounting brackets. Bad rubber, dirty sticking linkage, and misalignment are common in TTs.
