I have a philco model 48-1263 record changer. It was working fine; now as soon as you place the needle on a record it automatically picks up and returns. Just as if you were to hit the reject button. I have place the player in automatic and manual mode but the same thing happens. If anyone can help ? Thank you
Can't answer your question but welcome to the Phorum!
Hello,
It is tripping early due to the trip mech on the tone arm to the return mech being stuck. I have really never had one that worked properly without a 100% dismantle and cleaning. The re-lube and rebuild the player. It should also be updated with new capacitors but that is a whole different beast.. You can try just cleaning the trip since the rest of the player is working fine... Surprising it is working well without a rebuild...
